3-D Berry

Each student needs:

• pink, blue, red and/or purple construction paper
• 2 paper fasteners for each berry
• green construction paper for vines
• paper punch
• scissors

Instruction

1. Cut three strips, about one inch wide, down the short side of the colored paper.
2. Students write a sentence about berries on each strip.
3. Holding the strips together in a stack, use a paper punch to make three holes in each strip: one in the middle and one a half inch from each end.
4. Still holding the strips together, put a paper fastener in the middle hole.
5. Trace your hand for the leaf (DO NOT SPREAD YOUR FINGERS APART) and/or cut strips of green and curl them with a pencil for vines.
6. Punch a hole in leaf and vine, and put a paper fastener through the hole.
7. Bring up the ends of the long strips, and fasten them all together.
8. Spread out the paper strips to form a berry.
