Flower baskets

This is another craft where you can use a variety of items to come out with crafts that look different each time.

First I cut circles out of Brown paper. Then cut some flower shapes out of foam sheets. I also cut some circles for the centre of the flowers. Then I got the glue and markers together.


I sat the kids down and asked them how they wanted to decorate their flower basket. They chose to colour them with the markers (you could decorate anyway- even weave with strips of paper!)



After they were all done decorating, we put glue on the top half of the circle (basket). And then glued on the flower shapes, and circles for the centre. (You could also make stems- or many more flowers over lapping depending on the type of material you use)



These are good to make as gifts too, for mothers day, birthday's, anniversaries, get well- etc.
