Flower Vases

Today, again, was not a beautiful Spring day like it should be. So, we made "indoor flowers". We talked about how sometimes we have flowers in the house, and we put them into a vase. We talked about how flowers are different colors, and grow differently. We also talked about how they all have different names too. They all decided that what we were making were "Daisy Flowers"

First I collected the main items for this project- drawing a vase type shape on the bottom half of the paper. The muffin cups are going to be the flowers- you could use colored ones too! I also collected markers in flower type colors, and glue. We also used Spring (Easter) stickers, and sponged on glitter glue!



We decorated the muffin cups first. For this you could use anything, markers, crayons, paint, glitter, etc. Just make sure the muffin cup will be able to still "stand up" right after your item of choice is applied by your child. We went with Markers, because I know what they would look like after a coat of paint by these three!



After they were done coloring the flowers, we moved onto the vase. First they colored it, then we added stickers, then sponged on the glitter glue.




After they were done decorating the vase, we glued the flowers on. Then I had the older two draw lines from the flower to the vase, and put leaves on. I then cut them out, so they looked more vase like.
