How to Build Your Own Worm in an Apple
Supplies Needed
- Worm in an apple craft template
- Crayons, markers, or colored pencils
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- White copy paper or construction paper (optional)
Step 1: Color the pieces
Color the apple, stem, leaf, and worm with crayons, markers, or colored pencils.
Apples come in shades of red, green, and yellow, but you can choose any colors you like!
Step 2: Cut out the pieces
Use the dashed lines as a guide while cutting out the pieces. It’s completely fine if this leaves a white border, or you can cut closer to the solid lines if you’d like.
Step 3: Add the stem
If you’re using a background, glue the stem onto the paper first. Then, glue the apple on top so the stem sticks out from the center.
If you’re not using a background, glue the stem behind the top of the apple before moving on.
Step 4: Add the leaf and worm
Glue the leaf near the top of the apple beside the stem.
Step 5: Add the worm
Glue the worm anywhere you’d like on the apple to finish your craft.
