Pineapple or Strawberry
For this costume, choose the t-shirt color based on which fruit you would like to be: yellow for pineapple; red for strawberry. Then use green construction paper to create leaves, which you will attach to a headband. For a pineapple, create a taller stem of leaves, and for a strawberry create a shorter, wider bunch. This is another idea that is made for a pair.
