Crafts with children: painting apples with a recycled cardboard roll

Today I present a craft to do with children: apples painted with a cardboard tube, for which we will use very few elements. For this we will recycle a cardboard tube of kitchen paper (save these cardboard tubes because they can be used for an infinity of crafts).

You can draw apples of different colors and create a mural with autumnal tones, from red, through orange and yellow, to brown and ocher.

Necessary material

  • Cardboard tube of kitchen paper or water paper
  • Scissors
  • Paintings (red, yellow, brown, green, orange ...)
  • Cardboard or plastic plate to put the paint
  • Paper or cards to paint on them

How is it done

  1. We cut the tube into several pieces (we have to think that we have to keep as many tips as we have colors).
  2. We bend one of the parts of the tube to form a kind of heart (or apple shape)
  3. We arrange the paint on the plate (a little of each color) and we wet the base of each tube on a different color (as if it were a seal and we dipped in ink).
  4. We seal the paper with the different colors.
  5. To make the tail of the manzama, you can use a brown tube edge.
  6. We let the paint dry and we have our autumn mural finished!

I leave a video for you to see the procedure of the hand of a girl:
