Steps for making 3 D Tissue Paper Apple:

1. Cut out desired colored apples
2. Child will wrap the tissue around fingertip loosely, then tap the end into the glue while finger is still wrapped.
3. Child will then press tissue onto desired place on the apple cut out. Repeat until desired effect is reached.

Note: Young children can crumble the tissue or roll the tissue into balls then glue if desired.

Using Activity to Teach:
This activity goes well with apple tasting and graphing.
Cut a red, yellow and green apple into small bite-sized pieces.
Give each child one piece of each apple.
Ask each child which apple they liked best. Give them a small apple cut out matching their choice.
The child can place the apple cut out under a sign that is titled ―Our Favorite Apples‖. Forming a graph.
