#1: Bubble Wrap Sunflower Craft

This Bubble Wrap Sunflower Craft is a lovely, recycled craft idea for Fall. 

materials:

Instructions:

  • Place green, yellow and black washable kids paint onto a paper plate.
  • Cut out a small circle out of the bubble wrap using the craft scissors (about 2″ in diameter).
  • Next, paint the bubble wrap circle using the black paint and stamp onto the upper portion of the white card stock, remove the bubble wrap. This will be the middle of the sunflower.
  • Now, using the yellow paint, paint the flower petals using a outward swipe motion with a paintbrush, going around the black sunflower middle.
  • Lastly, using the green paint, draw a stem and leaves. Let dry.

 

#2: Tissue Paper Lilac Craft

This Tissue Paper Lilac Craft is a simple craft idea using tissue paper. 

materials:

Instructions:

  • Cut the tissue paper into squares, approximately 2″ x 2″. Place into a bowl.
  • Using the pencil, make a simple outline of a few branches for the lilacs. This step helps younger kids to visualize where to glue the tissue paper.

To make the lilac:

  • Take a piece of the purple/lavender tissue paper, crunch it up just a bit and glue to the white card stock following the outline.
  • When you have glued all of your tissue paper, cut out leaves from the green tissue paper and glue on top and between the purple tissue paper to create a bush (you can prep this step before hand).

#3: Fingerprint Lupine Craft

This beautiful Fingerprint Lupine Craft uses an easy technique of finger painting kids will love!

materials:

Instructions:

  1. Prep the finger paint (if you need to) by placing a little bit of purple and pink paint onto a plate.
  2. First, using the paintbrush and green watercolors, draw a few long stems and leaves for the lupines.
  3. Next, using the finger paint, make fingerprints with purple/pink paint starting at the top and going half way to the bottom of the stem. Make sure you stamp wider towards the bottom of the flower and narrower at the top. Let dry.

TIP- we found it to be beautiful if the purples and pinks combined a little bit on the finger. This creates a beautiful two tones lupine!

#4: Button Flower Craft

This Button Flower Craft is a simple and creative way to use buttons! Kids will love picking and choosing the colors of the buttons, coming up with their own unique button flower garden! 

MATERIALS:

 

Instructions:

  • Begin by drawing out simple grass outline on the green card stock using a pencil, holding the paper horizontally. Cut out the grass.
  • Draw stems for the flowers using a green permanent marker on the blue card stock. Alternatively, you can use a green crayon or colored pencil.
  • Next, glue the grass to the light blue paper, horizontally. 
  • Now, place a little bit of the liquid school glue onto the paper plate and arrange the q-tips. This avoids little ones dealing with the squeezable glue bottles, which can be tough for little hands to handle.
  • Glue the assorted buttons to make flowers.

#5: Flower Petal Art

This Flower Petal Art is an easy craft idea that uses flower petals to combine sensories and creativity!

Materials:

Instructions:

  • Using the craft knife and mat, cut a rectangle out of your cardboard. Make it big enough to have plenty of room for kids art.
  • Once the cardboard is cut, draw flower stems and centers using the crayons. I drew 5 stems, but you can draw as many as you can fit, leaving about an 1.5″ in between the stems.
  • Place the petals into a bowl and set besides the cardboard along with a glue stick.

Once you’ve done the prep, let the kids glue on the petals to the stems. You’ll be surprised at how busy and concentrated they stay!

  • Next, line up the ends of the pipecleaner and twist them between each other to make a stem for the flowers.
  • Lastly, pick up the top layer of the tissue paper and scrunch it up gently. Repeat with the rest of the tissue paper layers to make a nice, full-looking flower.
