Craft Supplies:
- Small Paper Plate
- Yellow Tissue Paper
- Green Cardstock Paper
- Orange Cardstock Paper
- School Glue
- Craft Scissors
- Stapler
- Pencil or Pen
Directions:
- First cut your yellow tissue paper into small squares.
- Take your paper plate and put a good amount of glue all over it.
- Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
- When they are done with that, set it aside to let it dry completely while you trace/trim out the handprints from the orange cardstock paper, which will become the petals of the flower. Depending on the size of your child’s hands – you may need to do 6-10 handprints.
- Be sure to also cut out the flower’s stem from the green cardstock paper.
- To finish off the flower petal craft – simply staple the handprint cutouts around the tissue paper covered paper plate, as well as stapling on the stem on the bottom.
- Then display proudly!
