MAKE AN APPLE DOLL
One of the favorite toys of pioneer children
MATERIALS

1 apple
paring knife
dowel rod or popsicle stick
wire (for the body)
old strips of material
glue



DIRECTIONS

1) Peel the apple leaving a little skin at the top and bottom so it will dry in a round shape.

2) Carve features for the face - wide apart, but not too deep.

3) Core the apple and place it on a dowel rod or popsicle stick. Set it in a glass and let it dry out for 3 or 4 weeks.

4) Once the head is dry, you can make the body by completely wrapping pieces of wire with cloth - or purchasing a doll's body at the craft store.

5) From this point, you can give your doll whatever kind of character you want it to have. Make it clothes, draw more features with a felt tip pin, glue on yarn for hair or add beads for teeth and eyes.


HAVE FUN!
