 Craft Project Directions: To make an aging apple doll, you will need an apple, lemon juice, a pencil, a jar or heavy paper cup, cloves, and a knife. Peel your apple and remove a bit of the core from the bottom of the apple. Cut holes in the apple for eyes, cut triangular flaps for ears, and deep Xs for a nose and mouth. Next soak your apple head in lemon juice to prevent it from browning and looking gross. Dry it off with a paper towel. Insert cloves in the eyes and stick a pencil into the bottom of the apple. Now place your apple, balanced on the pencil, in a jar (or take a paper cup,flip it upside down, poke a hole in the bottom center, and place the apple on the pencil upright through the hole) and let it dry. Make sure it doesn't touch anything or it could spoil. It will take a couple of weeks to dry out but after a few days you can begin to shape the face and ears. When your apple head is dried out, create a puppet body for it by poking a hole through and old glove or sock and inserting the pencil end. Decorate the glove or sock to create a great costume for your apple.
