* scissors
* green paint
* red paint
* 2 foam brushes

Directions:
1. Use scissors to cut a piece of construction paper in half.
2. Cut one half sheet of paper into long strips. Cut one half sheet of paper into short strips. Lay one long strip on a flat surface and place the short strips in the opposite direction, overlapping and gluing the pieces together.
3. Use long strips to weave the basket and glue the ends.
