Step by step

  1. Roll a red ball for the apple.

  2. Use your thumb to press a small hollow into the top.

  3. Roll a brown stalk. Press a green teardrop flat and scratch a line into it.

  4. Press the stalk into the hollow, and the leaf next to it.

  5. Roll two small black balls and two tiny white balls for the eyes.

  6. Press the eyes on and press a white dot onto each eye.

  7. Roll two small pink balls for the cheeks and a thin black strand.

  8. Press on the cheeks, and the strand as a smiling mouth. Done!

Tip

Don’t make the hollow too deep, so your apple stays nice and round.
