3. Place flowers inside a tall tissue box vase and arrange.

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.

"Students cut out pictures of their faces and glued them to the flowers. We called their arrangements God's Garden."
Millicent H., religious education teacher.

"We sprayed our tissue flowers (and each other!) outside. Kids had so much fun learning about recycling and color blending."
Arcadia M., teenage babysitter.

When facial tissues were first sold, they were marketed as a medical product to stop the spread of germs and sicknesses.
