The Monster Strawberry is a fun paper-folding craft where a plain drawing of a strawberry transforms into a silly monster face when you fold it. Parikshet shows you how to draw and fold your own version — a great activity that combines drawing with origami-style fun.

🖍️ What You Need

  • White paper (A4)
  • Red and green markers or crayons
  • Black pen
  • Scissors (optional for trimming)

How to Make the Monster Strawberry Folding Surprise

  1. Draw a large strawberry — a wide heart shape (pointed at the bottom, rounded at the top) filling most of your paper.
  2. Add the green leafy top — spiky leaf shapes at the top of the strawberry.
  3. Draw dots on the strawberry — small seed dots scattered across the red surface.
  4. Fold the paper horizontally — fold the bottom third of the paper up, covering the bottom of the strawberry.
  5. On the fold, draw a monster mouth — teeth, tongue, and lips right on the fold line, so when folded up the strawberry appears to have a biting mouth.
  6. Draw monster eyes on the fold-up section — wild googly eyes above the mouth on the fold.
  7. The reveal — unfolded, it looks like a normal strawberry. Folded up, it is a monster!
💡 Parikshet's Tip: Place the monster eyes just above the fold line and the teeth right on the fold line — this makes the monster face appear and disappear perfectly as you fold and unfold.

Step-by-Step: Drawing a Folding Suprise The Monster Strawberry

Step 1: Sketch the Basic Outline

Begin with a very light pencil sketch of the Folding Suprise The Monster Strawberry's overall shape. What is the biggest, simplest shape that describes it — a rectangle, oval, or triangle?

Step 2: Add the Main Structure

Build on the basic outline by adding the main structural elements of the Folding Suprise The Monster Strawberry. Break it down into simple geometric shapes.

Step 3: Draw the Key Features

Add the most important identifying features that make this recognisably a Folding Suprise The Monster Strawberry. These are the details that someone would notice first.

Step 4: Add Secondary Details

Now add the secondary details — textures, patterns, smaller parts. These build up the drawing gradually and give it character.

Step 5: Refine the Outline

Go back to the outline and refine any shapes that don't look right. Compare the proportions to a reference image if you have one.

Step 6: Add Depth with Lines

Add shading lines or cross-hatching on the darker side of the Folding Suprise The Monster Strawberry to create the impression of three dimensions.

Step 7: Trace with Marker

Once happy with your pencil drawing, carefully trace the final lines with a black marker or pen. Let it dry, then erase all pencil marks underneath.

Step 8: Colour Your Drawing

Apply colour to your Folding Suprise The Monster Strawberry, working from the largest areas first. Leave white areas uncoloured — the paper's white works as your lightest tone.

Colouring Your Folding Suprise The Monster Strawberry

Use real reference images as a guide for the Folding Suprise The Monster Strawberry's colours. Start with a base colour and add darker shading on one side to give a 3D feel.
