Color and Build a Fall Basket

Free Color and Build a Fall Basket – Printable Fall Craft Activity for Kids

Apple picking season, but make it a craft! This Color and Build a Fall Basket printable has kids cutting out a smiling woven basket, a curved handle, and a whole bunch of shiny red apples, then sticking them together to fill their very own harvest basket. The little basket face with its big eyes and happy grin is just too sweet, and it is 100% free.

This 4-page pack comes in two versions: two pages already colored in and ready to cut and build, and two outline pages for kids who want to color every apple themselves. Red, green, or golden yellow apples, it is totally up to them!

What’s Included?

This pack has 4 pages across two versions of the fall basket craft:

• Pre-Colored Build a Fall Basket (2 pages): Page one has the brown basket handle and ten red apples with green leaves. Page two has six more apples and the woven basket with its cute face. Everything is already colored, so kids can go straight to cutting and building
• Color and Build a Fall Basket (2 pages): The same handle, apples, and basket in clean outline form, so kids can choose their own colors before cutting and building

Perfect for Any Occasion

• Apple and harvest units: A fun hands-on craft to go with apple picking trips, harvest themes, or learning about how apples grow
• Counting practice: Little ones can count the apples as they cut and stick them into the basket, so it doubles as an easy math activity
• Fall classroom displays: A row of finished baskets makes a bright and cheerful autumn bulletin board
• Mixed ages: Younger kids can use the pre-colored pages while older kids color their own, so everyone can craft together
