Paper Plate Spring Scene Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate – one per spring craft
* Brown Tissue Paper
* Mini Popsicle Sticks – two/three per spring craft
* Green Craft Paint
* Small Paint Brush
* Small Paper Plate
* Green Cardstock
* Craft Scissors
* Basic Craft Glue
* Large Flower Stickers {Michaels or Hobby Lobby}
optional – glitter, rhinestones, bird stickers

Directions:

* First have children grab a small amount of brown tissue paper and cut it into small squares.
* Cover half of the paper plate with school glue.
* Have children lay the tan tissue paper on top, until the glue is completely covered. This is the “dirt” for the spring flowers to grow from.
* Now grab your mini popsicle sticks and the paint supplies.
* Paint the sticks completely green.
* Now glue those painted sticks onto the decorated paper plate. This will be the start of your flowers, growing fromt the “dirt.”
* To finish off the spring themed paper craft, simply have children add their flower stickers on top of the painted popsicle sticks, as well as any other embellishments they see fit.
* Go ahead and also cut out a few flower leaves from the green cardstock and glue those in place as well.
* Then, when you are done, set it all aside to let it dry completely.
* Finally – display proudly for ALL to see!

Make It Your Own Today:

Don’t have craft foam flower stickers like I used? No worries! You can easily swap those out and hand cut your own beautiful flowers from cardstock paper instead. Maybe even pull out your stash of buttons for the centers.

You can also pull out your Cricut machine and do flowers that way – hint hint!
