Looks like fall is finally here, and what better way to enjoy the chilly weather and falling leaves than with a caramel apple popsicle stick craft! Pick up a craft kit at the library, available in the Youth Services Department or from the drive-up window while supplies last.

Supplies Needed at Home:

  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Liquid Glue

Included in the kit from the library:

  • Red paper circle
  • Green paper circle
  • Brown paper circle
  • 2 popsicle sticks
  • Sprinkles (DO NOT EAT!)

 

 Instructions:

  1. On your brown circle, draw wavy lines down the middle of the circle from one edge to the other edge.
  2. Now cut along the wavy line on your brown circle. These two halves will be the “caramel” for each apple.
  3. Glue your caramel (1/2 brown circles) on top of your green and red circles.
  4. Turn your caramel apples over and glue one popsicle stick on the back of each apple.
  5. Now put a few dabs of glue on the caramel part of your apple and spread the glue around with the tip of the glue bottle or your finger.
  6. Over a garbage can, pour sprinkles on top of the glue.
  7. Let these adorable caramel apples dry and they are ready to display!
