Letter A Apple Craft – Popsicle Stick Puppet
This apple craft project only needs a few things.
Let’s get started and let the fun begin!
Supplies to make the Letter A Apple Craft – Popsicle Stick Puppet
1. Scissors (Amazon recommendation here)
2. Glue (I used Elmer’s stick glue)
3. Brown pipe cleaner (Approx. 4″)
4. Popsicle stick (small or jumbo size)
5. Apple Puppet Template – download the colored version or download the black and white version
6. White Cardstock (check out my Amazon-recommended cardstock)
Can the Popsicle Stick Puppet Craft be Adapted for Other Seasons or Themes?
Yes, the popsicle stick puppet craft can be easily adapted for other seasons or themes. For example, for a fun Christmas wreath craft, you can use green and red popsicle sticks to create a festive wreath shape, and then add holiday-themed puppets like Santa Claus, reindeer, or elves to the design.
Directions to make the Letter A Apple Craft – Popsicle Stick Puppet
- Print the Apple Craft template (download here: colored version or black and white version) using white cardstock. You can print the instructions page on standard printer paper though.
When making the black-and-white version, let your kids color the apple template page first before cutting out the pieces.
2. Cut out the apple, eyes, mouth, and leaf.
3. Glue the eyes, mouth, and leaf on the apple to make an apple face.
4. Cut about 4″ of brown pipe cleaner and fold it into half. Then glue it on top of the apple as a stem.
5. Add a popsicle stick on the bottom to make the Apple Puppet.

My kids and I had so much fun making this letter A apple craft puppet project! They actually named it Appley.
My 4 yr old son was saying the A sound phonetically as he was making this and he loves doing pretend talk with his apple puppet. It’s so cute!
