I’m so ready for the fall season. It is my favorite, I love everything about it. The changing trees, the falling leaves, the temperature change, the scents, and the tastes of fall, as well. All of it. I also love apples and apple picking time.

For our Bushel of Thumbprint Apples Craft you will need cardstock in brown and we used light blue for the base, red and green acrylic paint, brown and green markers, scissors, and a glue stick.

Supplies needed:

  • Cardstock – brown, light blue
