1 apple, halved crossways by an adult before the session
Red or green paint, 2 tablespoons, poured into a shallow tray
1 large sheet of paper, at least A2 (lining paper or brown parcel paper works well)
Step by Step
An adult halves the apple crossways before the session. The cut face should be flat and the star-shaped core pattern visible.
The child presses the apple face into the paint until evenly coated, lifts it, and presses firmly onto the paper. Lift straight up to keep the print clean.
Repeat across the sheet, reloading with paint every two to three stamps. Leave flat to dry for thirty minutes before using as wrapping paper.
