Materials
(small apple, paring knife, two cloves, rice, pencil)
Parents may need to do the steps involving the
knife for this Halloween craft.
Peel the skin off the apple. Leave the stem on if possible.
Use the knife to carve out three triangles,
one for each of the eyes and one for the nose. Push a
clove into each of the eye sockets.
Carve a slit for the mouth. Make sure
it is large enough to fit the grains of rice. Push in a
few pieces of rice to make the teeth.
If you have an extra stem, add it for a nose.
Push in the dull end (eraser) of a pencil
into the bottom of the apple.
Put the apple in a warm dry place, such as a
kitchen window. Use a pencil holder to keep it upright, or
rotate it once a day to make sure it doesn't rot.
It can take three to four weeks for the apple
to completely dry. But the face will be very scary when it is
done! You'll have the best Halloween craft around.
