Fall is officially here! With two boys at home (ages 7 & 11), finding crafts that will keep them engaged without creating a huge mess can be a challenge. That’s why this Q-tip apple painting is perfect! It’s a fun, mess-free craft that uses everyday items most people already have at home or in the classroom. I made sure to include a free printable apple template to make crafting easier for everyone.
