Looking for some unique crafts as you spring into this new season of the year? (See what I did there?) We’ve got a great one for you! Here’s a felt strawberry that older kids can make.

Not only is this felt strawberry a fun craft but it helps your students develop fine motor skills and gives them sewing practice at the same time. This project could also accompany larger art projects such as this diorama for The Very Hungry Caterpillar story.

Instructions for the Felt Strawberry

Step 1

Select red, green, white, and yellow felt for the strawberry pattern. Use a pencil or fabric marker to trace the template patterns on the selected felt and cut them out.

Step 2

Take a strawberry base cutout and use a pen to add dots for the seeds on the base.

Step 3

Prepare a needle with white thread and stitch small cross stitches on the dots.

Step 4

Once all dots are covered with small white crosses, draw the thread to the backside of the base and tie 2 knots to secure it.

Step 5

Place the small flower cutout in the center of the big flower cutout.

Step 6

Place the stem cutout on the top side of the dotted strawberry base. Place the leaf cutout to a side (left or right) of the other strawberry base, near the top.

Step 7

Place the stitched strawberry base on the top of the plain one, keeping the leaf cutout between the bases.

Step 8

Place the flower pattern on the top side of the strawberry bases, right above the leaf part.

Step 9

Prepare a needle with yellow thread and work a cross stitch on the center of the flower, stitching through the leaf, stem, and bases all together.

Step 10

Tie a knot at the backside and cut off extra thread. Prepare a needle with red thread and work a flat blanket stitch around the side of the bases.

Step 11

Keep a small opening for stuffing. We are using cotton for stuffing.

Step 12

Once the stuffing is done, close the opening and secure the thread by tying 2 or 3 knots. Insert the needle through the felt pattern and draw it out in the opposite direction. Cut off extra thread.
