Paper Flower Bouquet

For our 10 min #LoveSpelledTime monthly craft habit, www.momjunction.com teaches us how to make paper flower bouquets with our little ones. 

A bouquet for kids may seem like a stretch. But these paper flower making for younger kids is easy to do, with a little help from the adults.

You Will Need:

• Drinking straws for stems
• Craft paper of different colors – purple, blue and pink (other colors if you’d like)
• Scissors
• Glue

How To:

1. Slit one end of the straw and flatten it so that it looks like a flower with a stem. Let the slits be an inch long, but not more.
2. To make it easier for preschoolers, get templates of flowers in different sizes, printed on the color paper. Pick easy templates that the kids can cut using their scissors.
3. Cut the flowers into sets, based on their shapes.
4. Arrange the flowers by stacking them according to their size, with the wider or larger blossom at the bottom.
5. Use the scissors to create a small circle/hole in the center of the flowers.
6. Put the non-slit end of the straw from the top, into the circle in the middle and tape it from the below to hold the petals in place.     Credits: www.momjuction.com
