Instructions
Step 1: Cut the Letter A
Draw a large uppercase letter A on red construction paper. Cut carefully along the lines.
For younger children, pre-drawing the letter can simplify the process while still allowing cutting practice.
Step 2: Create the Stem
Draw a small rectangle with a slight curve on brown construction paper to represent the apple stem. Cut it out.
Step 3: Cut the Leaf
On green construction paper, draw a simple oval leaf with a small point at one end. Cut it out.
Step 4: Assemble the Apple
Glue the brown stem to the top center of the letter A. Attach the green leaf next to the stem.
Step 5: Add Apple Seeds
Using a black marker, draw small “seeds” along the middle horizontal line of the letter A. This detail reinforces the apple theme and highlights the structure of the uppercase letter.
Step 6: Mount (Optional)
Glue the finished apple letter onto white cardstock for display or bulletin board use.
