Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
Three full sheets of paper, child-appropriate crayons, a glue stick, and adult scissors.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Stay with the child throughout. Check the space and supplies, including anything within reach of younger siblings. Skip any activity that is unsuitable. Stop if a child puts non-food material in their mouth or becomes distressed. Use intact books, full sheets of paper, a large child-appropriate crayon and a clean, dry towel. Follow product labels; remove torn paper and keep broken crayons and caps away from children. Adult handles and stores supplies.
Set up: An adult cuts two large circles from one sheet and puts scissors away. Use a second sheet as the background.
Adult's role: Help fold the circles and supervise glue use.
Let's make it happen
- Color the two large paper circles. Fold each circle in half to make a flower head.
- Glue the folded edges onto the background, leaving the rounded halves visible above them.
- Draw a stem beneath each flower and wrap the third sheet around the lower part as a loose paper bouquet sleeve.
Make it simpler: Use one folded flower and draw another.
Clean up: Close the glue stick and collect paper scraps.
Adult handles scissors and stays beside the child. Keep paper and glue away from mouths.
