Here’s a cute way to fold a strawberry that even small children can make.

Make a crease down the center, then fold the corners in to meet that crease.

Slightly fold down the tips you just folded.

Next, make the calyx (leafy top).

Make a crease at the bottom, then fold diagonally so that three little peaks (mountains) appear.

Fold the parts you just made back, attach them to the strawberry with glue, and you’re done! Finally, we recommend decorating it cutely with round stickers or pens as you like.
