Last week we were ALL about strawberries. After enjoying several bowls full of the fresh variety we decided to create the kind of sweet treat that would stick around a lot longer. This beautiful berry even smells like the real deal.
What You'll Need
White Cardstock (or use a leftover cereal box)
Scissors
Red paint + paintbrush
Strawberry Jello or Kool-Aid powder
Black Buttons
White Glue
Green Construction Paper
Green Pipe Cleaner
How-To
1. Cut a strawberry shape from the white cardstock. Paint the shape a bright, beautiful red.

2. While the paint is still wet sprinkle generously with the strawberry scented powder. Gently shake off excess.

3. Glue black buttons sporadically throughout. Cut out a leaf shape from the construction paper and a stem from the pipe cleaner and adhere to the top to complete your strawberry.
