1. |
Draw and cut out different fruits on sketch paper or white construction paper. You may also print out this fruit template. |
 |
2. |
Prepare paint on your palette. Use the appropriate colors to match your fruits (red for apples, purple for grapes, etc.) |
 |
3. |
As an added sensory experience, you may add fruit juice powder to each color of paint. Paint with fruit juice powder will dry with a nice shiny slightly gritty finish, and a nice matching fruity smell! |
 |
4. |
Paint the fruits and set them aside to dry. |
 |
5. |
Print-out our basket template or draw your own basket on construction paper. Cut out the basket and prepare a piece of construction paper for the background. |
 |
6. |
Apply glue around the back of the basket, except along the basket's mouth. |
|
 |
7. |
Glue the basket onto the background paper. Remember that the basket's mouth shouldn't be glued on - we need to be able to slip in our fruits inside the basket. |
 |
8. |
Decorate the basket with whatever craft materials you have. Glitter glue, small craft shapes, stickers, sequins, paper cut-outs, ribbons, are just some of the things you can use. |
 |
9. |
Once the painted fruits are dry, slip them inside the basket. |
