1. |
Draw and cut different fruits on sketch paper. Make sure these fruits match the fruit juice powder that you have. You may also print fruits from 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. |
Add the appropriate fruit juice powder to each color of paint. Mix thoroughly. |
 |
4. |
Let your child appreciate the different smells and match them by painting the corresponding fruit. |
|
 |
5. |
The paint will dry with a nice shiny and slightly gritty finish. |
 |
6. |
Print-out our basket template or draw your own basket from construction paper. Cut out the basket and prepare a piece of construction paper for the background. |
 |
7. |
Apply glue around the back of the basket, except along the basket's mouth. |
 |
8. |
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. |
 |
9. |
Decorate the basket by sticking on some small craft foam shapes, sequins or stickers. |
 |
10. |
You may add a bow on the basket's handle. |
|
 |
11. |
Once the painted fruits are dry, place them inside the basket. |
