LARGE SPRING BASKET TEMPLATES

These make cute Spring Baskets.  Make as large as you wish.  Help the students place the template on the folded construction paper.  I stapled the construction paper closed so it would not move as the students were cutting.  Make sure they understand not to cut the folded edge sections.  Choice of colors should be spring colors. Once the student is finished tracing their basket, set up another student.  Monitor the students as they cut out the basket.  It is the most difficult part of the project.  Have students write a poem to go along with the basket.
