Easy to make craft stick caramel apples – a great fall craft for preschoolers and older kids. Find the printable instructions at the end of the post.
These craft stick caramel apples are a fun and easy fall craft idea to try with your kids. All you need is craft sticks, paint, paper and glue – materials you will find in a crafty house. If you have a bag of those colored craft sticks, you will skip the painting step and move on directly to gluing.
The caramel apple craft is a nice addition to our fall crafts and the apple crafts. Throughout the years we have used so many supplies to create apples, from paper plates to paper rolls.
Caramel apples are my favorite fall treat, next to anything pumpkin. And making these popsicle stick caramel apples is so easy that we had to give them a try.
Craft sticks are amazing tools for kids. You can use them for crafts, building or creating all sorts of other things. When my son started being more confident using the hot glue gun on his own, he went through my whole big bag of crafts sticks.

I really didn’t mind it because what came out of it looked fantastic. Tons of houses forming a mini town. We still have it in the basement.
While hot glue is great when crafting with popsicle sticks, I used tacky glue for these caramel apples. I wanted to keep the craft preschool friendly and the tacky glue worked great. I think even a glue stick would work well.
