How to make it
Toss the painted apples when you're done so no one takes a bite.
1Grown-up step: Cut the apples
Slice 1 apple in half from top to bottom. Slice the other across the middle to show the hidden star.
2Dry the cut sides
Pat each cut face with a paper towel. Wet apple slides around and smears.
3Pour the paint
Squeeze a puddle of each color onto its own paper plate.
4Stamp the apples
Have your child dip an apple half in paint, press it on the paper, and lift straight up.
5Find the star
Stamp with the across-cut apple and look for the star made by the seeds.
6Add stems
Once dry, draw a stem and leaf on each print with a marker.
Edie's tipPush a fork into the round back of each apple half. It makes a handle that keeps fingers out of the paint.
