Pasos a seguir

Choose stones in shapes which remind of some fruit. For example pears, banana, mandarin or strawberries.

Paint each fruit its colour: orange for the mandarin, yellow and brown for the banana, green for the pears and red for the strawberries as well as the white points when they are dried.

Flatten a piece of green plasticine and mark the outline of the leaves. You need three for the mandarien, two medium for the pear and a 6-7 points star for each strawberry.

Glue the leaves with a bit of white blue in the top of the fruits and stick a small log in the centre.

Cut a coconut (an adult must make it). Remove the edible part, clean the shell and use the most beautiful part as fruit bowl.
