Pool Noodle Stamped Apple Tree Craft

Do you have a pool noodle at home, maybe somewhere in the shed or the garage? Well, if you do then you’re going to love this simple activity! This Pool Noodle Stamped Apple Tree craft is an easy and fun Autumn craft that uses up, perhaps, old pool noodles.

Honestly, my kids had a pool noodle in their room closet for probably a year now. We used it for the Pool Noodle Balance Beam for what seems like forever ago and ever since it’s been cut in half, used as swords, tunnels for marbles, bridges, and a lot more. I was getting pretty tired of them laying around in different places so I thought it was time for them to go. And this activity seemed soooo appropriate for Autumn 🙂

What is my child learning and improving?

  • Gross motor skills (if the easel board paper is taped to the wall, kids are standing, moving around and reaching!)
  • Small/fine motor skills (holding the pool noodle ring, dipping into paint and stamping onto the paper)
  • Creativity
