Start by printing the apple card pattern and “about me” card template (available free here with all of our printable kids craft templates). Once you’ve printed these two sheets, cut out each piece of the pattern. Be sure to cut off the top of the apple along the dotted line.

Have your child complete the “about me” card to tell their teachers a little bit about themselves. Feel free to add any other information you’d like! Glue your child’s photo to the “about me” card in the top left corner where noted.

Making an "about me" card for new teacher

Trace the apple pattern onto red card stock. You’ll also want to trace the apple top and the “about me” card backing onto red card stock too.

Trace the apple leaf onto green card stock and the apple stem onto brown card stock. Cut out all the pieces you traced.

Use any color card stock to cut out a piece as wide as your apple and about 1″ tall. This will be a tab you’ll use to keep the pop-up piece attached to your apple.

Attach the leaf and stem to the top apple piece.
