Breezy Blossoms
What’s more colorful than a spring flower garden? Why not get together with Grandpa or a neighbor to create your own breezy blossoms. Bring back that fresh feeling any time of year!
1. Color blossoms. Cover your craft area with newspaper. Tear three coffee filters into thirds (or ask an adult to cut them). Color each piece with Crayola® Washable Bold Markers. Dampen the filters by either spraying or sprinkling them with water. Watch the colors bleed to create a tie-dyed look. Air-dry the filters.
2. Draw a garden. On white paper, use your imagination to draw a garden scene with stems to hold your Breezy Blossoms! This is a great time to talk together about gardens such as fields of Dutch tulips, formal Japanese gardens, or flower shows in your hometown.
3. Add your blossoms. Accordion-fold the flowers and then open them. Glue them in place in your garden scene.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
