Place a generous squirt of several orange or yellow colors of paint onto a paper plate.

Press the sliced apples into the paint.

Press the apples onto the white paper or cardstock. We recommend cardstock because it will hold up to the paint better.

To create a cute little pumpkin stem, press the apple stem into green paint and press into the stamp.

Repeat with all the colors you are using.

To create vines and add an extra element of nature painting to this activity, I clipped a small sprig off of a bush. I encouraged my child to press the sprig into the paint and create vines around the pumpkin patch.

Set aside and allow to dry.
