Summer is here and the flowers are in full bloom. This flower craft was created in a preschool classroom.
It would be fun as a group activity at a birthday party or playdate as well.
Directions
1 Draw the petals and one circle on the poster board
and cut out.
3 Give each child a petal. Have them share the
paint, glue, and glitter. Let them create!
2 Print out a fun sign for the center of the flower. You
could use your child's name if it's for their birthday or a
picture would work too.
4 Allow paint to dry. Lay out the petals in a circle
and glue the circle on top. When children are free
to create; beautiful things happen.
