This Earth Day, put those empty toilet roll cardboard tubes to good use and try out this easy Toilet Roll Stamped Flower craft idea!
With just a few supplies you can easily help nurture your children’s creativity while talking to them about nature, conservation and sustainability.
Kids will love getting their hands dirty (literally!) as they help create some beautiful stamped “Earth Day flowers” that are perfect for decorating around the house or gifting to special family members in honor of the yearly event. Let’s get started!
All you need is some recycled toilet roll tubes and simple art supplies – plus your imagination – to make these unique flower creations!
Craft Supplies:
- Light Blue Cardstock Paper
- Mini EARTH Printable
- Color Printer
- Light Green Cardstock Paper
- Small Paper Plate
- Scissors
- White Craft Paint
- Blue Craft Paint
- Glue Stick
- Green Sharpie Marker
- optional – loose craft glitter
Directions:
- To get started, simply download and print the free printable earth flower printable, on a single sheet of light blue cardstock paper.
- Go ahead and cut out TWO or THREE mini earth shapes. Set aside the remainder for later.
- Next, using scissors, you will want to cut slits in the toilet paper roll. I went about 1/4 of the way up.
- Then bend the slits outward. The toilet paper roll will look like a flower when you are done.
- Next – take some white and blue craft paint & squirt it on a paper plate.
- Using your new toilet paper roll stamp, move the paint around a bit, so the stamp part is completely covered. You want a good mix of blue and white paint on the toilet paper roll.
- Now hand it over to your child and wait for the fun to begin! All they need to do is dip their newly made stamp in the paint, then on the green cardstock paper. They will want to make TWO or THREE flowers {with room between each} on the light green cardstock paper.
- Repeat adding paint, until the desired design is reached. At this point in time, if desired, they can also sprinkle loose craft glitter on top of their wet paint creations.
- The final step is to draw on the “flower stem” under both designs and glue on the earth centers.
- Once the paint is dry, add embellishments all around the designs, to make your flowers stand out from the crowd!
