Materials needed: white cupcake liners, green chenille stems (aka pipe cleaners), watercolor paint.
Step 1: Decorate the cupcake liners using the watercolor paints. For optimum performance, your child should still be wearing their jammies and also have bed head.
Step 2: Allow liners to dry completely.
Step 3: Roll one end of the stems a few times, then gently push the other end of the stem through the cupcake liner and pull all the way through. The rolled end will catch, and you will "bunch up" the liner around it to create the flower.
Step 4: Gather into a bouquet and enjoy!
We made these as a birthday gift, but they would also be perfect for Mother's Day, Teacher Appreciation, or even a 1st Day of Spring activity! You can get as creative as you want....adding construction paper leaves would be another easy option.
Linking up to a few of my favorites!
So happy to be featured!!
