Old red t-shirt and spots made with black marker = strawberry?

Does he have an orange T-shirt? Do you have green paper?

Cut out paper leaves and sew onto a cap/ hat of any sort. wear orange T-shirt- he's an orange.
Red or green T and leaves he's and apple. or tomato.

Orange trews and T and fluffier leaves, he's a carrot.

Green paper draw a bunch of grapes,large, cut out, sew onto any T-shirt - bunch of grapes.

Green trews and T with green paper pointy hat - runner bean.

Remember you can turn T-shirts inside out to hide large logos if colour is otherwise what you want.

Good luck.

Boy sized bit of cardboard. Cut into oval and spend the day colouring or painting it green (get a match-pot from B&Q!) with small black felt-tip blobs in the middle. String on top to hang around neck. Kiwi fruit.

Do you have any coloured paper already at home?

It doesn't have to be huge - just an A4 ish picture cut and pinned to any plain Tshirt would be OK.

Face paint?

Tin foil all over - jacket potato :o

Have done this before. If you go to a pound shop they often have those cheap plastic table cloths with fruit on. Have got a hole for the head and turned it into a tabard.
