Flower Petal Ballerina Craft

This Flower Petal Ballerina Craft is a beautiful little craft idea perfect for toddlers!

Super simple to set up, minimal materials needed and kids will love decorating their ballerina’s. It’s perfect for putting an old bouquet to one more good use. Any sort of flowers work wonderfully, in fact the more variety the better!

Both of my kids loved this idea (yes this is fun idea for both boys and girls!) and thought it was so fun to make clothing out of flower petals. It truly is art! Plus kids are developing so many skills too, from sensory skills to hand-eye coordination!
