Craft instructions for My Flower
- Help your child draw and cut out a flower with six petals on white card stock. Also cut out the middle of the flower. Later, your child’s photo will appear in the middle of the flower.
- Your child can now paint the cooking spoon with green finger paint and leave it to dry. The flower stem is ready!
- Your child now uses the wide adhesive tape to stick the leftover piece of cardboard, which serves as a photo holder, to the back of the flower. Leave a small opening at the top so that you can later insert the photo through it.
- Now your child can paint the flower with different colors as they wish.
- When the stem and flower are completely dry, attach the flower to the wooden spoon with liquid glue.
- You put the finished flower in the herb or flower pot. You can then beautify your own windowsill with it. Or maybe you’re going to visit grandma and grandpa and you want to surprise them with a home-made gift.
