This apple stamping craft looks amazing, but it is so easy and inexpensive to make. Younger children will need help with the cutting and gluing, but stamping apples is fun for all ages.

Apple stamping is a great supplementary craft if you are working on the letter “A” with your preschooler. You can talk about the “A” sound in an apple while painting with apples.

This apple stamping craft would also be a great fall art project to do with your kids that could turn into a favorite fall decoration.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
