Apple Cookie Cutter Watercolor Painting

Apples are a huge fall theme at our house. We do almost two weeks of fun activities with them. We end our apple season about the time of Johnny Appleseed’s birthday, September 26!

There are always so many fun apple activities you can do. This apple cookie cutter watercolor painting is a fun way to make a wonderful painting.

The Apple Cookie Cutter Watercolor Painting is a great addition to the apple crafts and cookie cutter painting on the site.

What is Cookie Cutter Painting?

Painting with a cookie cutter is an easy craft for kids to do. This gives a template, and the results are loads of fun.

Apple Cookie Cutter Painting

We have love doing the cookie cutter painting. This allows different ages to do the same activity together. This is also something that is totally up to my girls how they paint the apples. My youngest picked out the colors of apples she wanted to paint. She decided every part of the activity.

The apple cookie cutter painting is a fun twist on apple stamp painting for kids.

Apple Book to Read with the Apple Watercolor Painting

The book we read with this activity was Apples by Gail Gibbons. It is great for learning about apples and the different types of apples.

Lift Up And Look at the Apple

After you finish painting you want to lift up the apple cookie cutter and look at the apple you painted. You can see how fun it is. And if the apple is not perfect that is okay!

Keep Painting Apples

You want to keep painting apples. You can paint red, yellow, and green. But if kids decide to use other colors that is okay as well. This is their apple painting.

The apples can over lap or not. You can paint the stem and leaves different colors from the apple. All great ideas and leave that up to kids.

You can also paint the apples in more than on color.
