I am teaching a class this week, with Spring flowers as the theme to get everyone geared up for the first flower buds to appear. I personally can't wait to see my flowers starting to bud and flourish.
In my classes we do 2 crafts, a paint craft and a glue craft. Here are the ideas for this theme:
Paint Craft: Coffee filter Tulip
PREP: I have prepared coffee filters by cutting scalloped edges on the top of the filter and attached them to long wooden Popsicle sticks using a stapler.
I then attached leaves cut out from green construction paper with a stapler as well.
I will add 4 drops of food coloring in 1/2 cup water and have many q tips ready to go.
The children will then dip the q tips in the colored water, and touch their coffee filter flower filling it all with many colors. The colors all bleed together and it makes for a very beautiful flower.
Glue Craft: Tissue paper flower
PREP: I have cut out of construction paper, a great big yellow flower, an orange circle center and the stem and leaves out of green and put it all together using a glue stick.
I have cut up pieces of different colored tissue paper into little squares about 2"x2"
The children will be able to crumple up and glue on to their flower.
Makes for a fun and unique flower craft.
