    \r\nApple Slice<\/strong>\r\n \t
  1. Take a red or a green coloured paper plate and cut it in half.<\/li>\r\n \t
  2. Draw around one half of the plate using a pencil on a sheet of pale yellow paper to draw a semi-circle. Draw a slightly smaller semi circle inside roughly 3cm in from the edge but meeting equally on the straight line. Cut out this smaller semi-circle.<\/li>\r\n \t
  3. Stick the pale yellow semi-circle onto the half paper plate using a glue stick.<\/li>\r\n \t
  4. Using a brown pen draw 2 apple seeds on the straight edge of the apple slice.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
      \r\nLemon Slice<\/strong>\r\n \t
    1. Take a yellow coloured paper plate and cut it in half.<\/li>\r\n \t
    2. Cut out 4 triangles 6cm high from a sheet of pale yellow paper. Cut the bottom of the triangles with a curve so that they fit nicely around the curve of the lemon slice.<\/li>\r\n \t
    3. Stick the triangles onto the half paper plate using a glue stick.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
        \r\nWatermelon Slice<\/strong>\r\n \t
      1. Take a green coloured paper plate and cut it in half.<\/li>\r\n \t
      2. Draw around one half of the plate using a pencil on a sheet of white paper to draw a semi-circle. Draw a slightly smaller semi circle inside roughly 3cm in from the edge but meeting equally on the straight line. Cut out this smaller semi-circle.<\/li>\r\n \t
      3. Draw around the white semi-circle onto a sheet of red paper. Draw a slightly smaller semi circle inside roughly 1cm in from the edge but meeting equally on the straight line. Cut out this smaller semi-circle from the red paper.<\/li>\r\n \t
      4. Stick the red semi-circle onto the white semi-circle using a glue stick. Stick the white semi-circle onto the green half paper plate.<\/li>\r\n \t
      5. On the other half cut from the green paper plate, cut off a triangle shape to make a smaller watermelon slice<\/li>\r\n \t
      6. Draw around the green triangle piece of paper plate using a pencil on a sheet of white paper. Draw a slightly smaller triangle with a curved bottom inside the shape roughly 3cm in from the edge but meeting equally on the straight sides of the triangle. Cut out this smaller triangle.<\/li>\r\n \t
      7. Draw around the white triangle onto a sheet of red paper. Draw a slightly smaller triangle inside roughly 1cm in from the edge but meeting equally on the straight sides of the triangle. Cut out this smaller triangle from the red paper.<\/li>\r\n \t
      8. Stick the red triangle onto the white triangle using a glue stick. Stick the white triangle onto the green triangle piece of paper plate.<\/li>\r\n \t
      9. Using a black pen draw a few spread out black seeds onto the red paper on the half a watermelon and the triangle slice.<\/li>\r\n \t
      10. Using a black pen draw lots of seeds around the pale yellow centre of the kiwi.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
          \r\nHalf an Orange<\/strong>\r\n \t
        1. Take an orange coloured paper plate.<\/li>\r\n \t
        2. Cut out 6 triangles 7cm high from a sheet of light orange paper. Cut the bottom of the triangles with a curve so that they fit nicely around the curve of the orange.<\/li>\r\n \t
        3. Stick the triangles facing inwards going round in a circle onto the paper plate using a glue stick.<\/li>\r\n \t
        4. Using a black pen draw lots of seeds around the pale yellow centre of the kiwi.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
            \r\nHalf a Kiwi<\/strong>\r\n \t
          1. Take a green coloured paper plate.<\/li>\r\n \t
          2. Cut out a wiggly oval shape from pale yellow paper for the centre of the kiwi. Stick the shape into the middle of the green paper plate.<\/li>\r\n \t
          3. Using a black pen draw lots of seeds around the pale yellow centre of the kiwi.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","shopping_list":"
