Make concertina fruits

Getting ready

You will need:

• different coloured pieces of A4 paper
• ruler
• pen or pencil
• children's scissors
• felt-tip pens
• glue stick

Step 1

Cut up a red piece of paper to make a long strip about 7cm wide x 30cm long.

Step 2

Fold the strip in half.

Hold the sides and push them together to fold the paper into an S-shape - unfold to see your concertina.

Step 3

Fold up the piece of paper again and use your pen or pencil to draw the outline of a strawberry shape on it.

Step 4

Hold the folded paper firmly and carefully cut round the shape but don't cut all the way through the sides.

Step 5

Open out the paper to show your concertina strawberry shapes.

Step 6

Fold a thin strip of green paper in the same way.

Cut out rows of tiny triangles to make strawberry tops and rectangles for stalks.

Step 7

Stick the tops and stalks on your strawberries.

Step 8

Use a felt-tip pen to draw some little dots on your strawberries to look like seeds.
