Coffee Filter Crafts for Kids: Coffee Filter Apple Craft

August 7, 2019 by Selena Robinson 4 Comments

Get the kids ready for fall with this easy peasy coffee filter apple craft!

It’s still warm where we are. (It’s the South. It’ll be warm through November.)

But I simply cannot wait for fall. I love fall. It’s easily my very favoritest time of year. And one of the best parts of fall is ripe, juicy apples!

So for our latest coffee filter craft project, I’m sharing a coffee filter apple craft that’s easy enough for preschoolers.

They may need a little help cutting the filter into an apple shape, but after that, they’ll be good to go on their own!

So this is a perfect craft idea for preschool, kindergarten, or even older kids who might want to add their own touches.

And it’s an excellent art activity for an apple thematic unit or following a read-aloud selection that features apples!
