Cut, color and assemble sweet Annie and Adam Apple

Adam and Annie Apple paper dolls.

       Young students may enjoy crafting two little apple friends this fall. This kind of project is fun to do at the end of a long day at school while waiting for the bus. 
       Children may also enjoy crafting these paper dolls on a weekend when they have nothing to do outside on a rainy day...

Supply List:

  • red and green construction paper
  • white school glue
  • scissors
  • decorative scrap papers for clothes
  • free template below for students only
  • scrap yarn for Annie's hair bow

Step-by-Step Instructions: 

  1. First print out the pattern below at school or from your own home computer. 
  2. Cut out the patterns and trace around the apple shapes for your paper doll's heads. I used both of the larger apple patterns for the examples you see just right. But you may wish to make one of your paper dolls a younger brother or sister; so then you can use the smaller apple head pattern for one of these siblings instead.
  3. Cut out the clothing patterns and trace around these to make dresses and/or overalls for the dolls using fancy patterned scrap papers.
  4. Cut out narrow strips of construction paper to shape accordion styled arms and legs for the apple doll children.
  5. Cut out and trace around the small leaf pattern to design ''hands and feet'' for each paper doll.
  6. Use white school glue to attach all of the pieces as seen in the photo above. Let dry. Then play.
