Snack on the apple and use the core to make small stars.<br \/>\n3. Cut through the apple and starting from the outer edge, slice to the core, but not through the core so the core is raised. Using a paring knife, create different symbols from the raised core, or just make stars!<\/p>\n<p>The child\u2019s and the parent\u2019s imagination can create endless possibilities. If you don\u2019t want to waste the apples use the edible paint, so the apple can be eaten or composted instead of thrown away!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Apple Faces<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.odinic-rite.org\/AcornHollow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Apple-Heads-425x318.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1301\" title=\"Apple-Heads-425x318\" src=\"http:\/\/www.odinic-rite.org\/AcornHollow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Apple-Heads-425x318-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.odinic-rite.org\/AcornHollow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/shrunken-apple-head1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1303 alignnone\" title=\"shrunken-apple-head\" src=\"http:\/\/www.odinic-rite.org\/AcornHollow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/shrunken-apple-head1-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em><strong>Materials:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apples<\/li>\n<li>Oven (with a parent!)<\/li>\n<li>String or wire for hanging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">\u00a0<em><strong>Procedure:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Peel the apple, leaving the stem and a circle of peel around the stem.
