It’s time to build the basket. Take one of the fruit pieces, like the apple labeled goodness, and glue or place it along the top edge of the basket so it looks like it’s sitting inside.

Keep adding the rest of the fruits like peace, joy, faith, and love. Let your child decide where each fruit should go. Encourage your child to overlap them slightly so the basket looks full and colorful.
