Why not use some of the many apples in the fall for something fun and useful for Halloween?
This is a fun activity for the whole family. And the kids will love to see the “heads” shrink as the days pass and Halloween is coming.
All you need is:
- an Apple
- a Knife
For the kids, I recommend the Mora Scout knife.
And perhaps some:
- Yarn
- A screw or some plastic eyes
1: Find your apple

2: Peel Your apple

3: Remove the core housing
The youngest kids could need some help here.

4: Creating your face
Use the knife to make a face of your own choice.
Attach something as the eyes
Attach the yarn to the top of your face as hair. Make the haircut your soon to shrink face deserves 😉


5: Place your head in a hot spot inside your house
Placing it in a place where the kids will see it is to be preferred. It is fun to follow the process in the following days and weeks.

6: Enjoy your scary shriveled heads
