Paper flowers for Show & Tell



I found this sweet little craft activity at http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/flowers/handprintflower/which we will use for show-and-tell tomorrow.

Pretty paper flowers/lilies

I got Ms. E to mark out her handprints on paper. She then coloured them in (both front and back), as best as she could, in yellow and red. I then cut the handprints out. We then took each paper 'finger' and curled it around a pencil. We got a straw and stuck about 2 inches of one end in the middle of the 'palm'. We then made a cone from the 'palm' section and wrapped it around the straw, sticking it with cello tape. So there we had our flower and stem, with the petals (fingers) curving outwards. We made two green leaves from the paper and stuck them on the straw too. Repeated the process for the other 'flower'.

There - we have two pretty paper flowers to take to school tomorrow. :)
