Next add potting soil and let the kids plant seeds in it. I always plant either grass seeds or beans because they grow so fast. Then traced 6 circles and 2 leaves on their painted paper and cut them out. One being the center and the other 5, the petals. Then paint a craft stick green and glued their flower and leaves to it.
Children can glue muffin cup liners to paper, add stems and leaves using construction paper.
They can make any color or type of flower they want. Choose 3 or 4 colors of paint and pour a thin amount into a shallow dish. Have the children stamp the bows after they have been dipped in the paint, onto a large pre-cut piece of paper. You can also take my green paint and paint grass on the bottom to give this work of art an garden look. Use the piece of paper and attach it to the toilet paper roll using the elastic band.
