How To Make Fruits of the Spirit Craft
Step 1: Download and Print Template
Start by downloading and printing our free Fruit of the Spirit template. Each fruit is labeled with a different virtue, ready for your kids to color.
Step 2: Color the Fruits
Let your children’s creativity shine as they color each fruit. Encourage them to think about what each virtue means as they bring their fruits to life with vibrant colors.
Step 3: Cut Out the Fruits
Carefully cut out each colored fruit along the dotted lines. This is a great opportunity to practice fine motor skills.
Step 4: Create the Basket
Using brown construction or kraft paper, cut out a rectangle shape for a basket. Decorate the basket with markers to make it unique and personal. We decided to add horizontal and vertical lines to our basket. Glue your basket to our free background template.
Step 5: Add Green Grass and Fruits
Glue small strips of green to the top of your basket for your fruit to “sit on.” Once the basket is ready, glue each fruit onto the basket, arranging them however you like.
