Rainbow Paper Flowers

Creating flowers out of paper can be elaborate or it can be simple.  You know us, we prefer simple.

These rainbow paper flowers are perfect for kids of all ages.  They can practice their scissor skills by cutting out the circles.  Then they can learn about the color wheel when they put the petals in order.

Don’t you just love it when you can work in a little play-based learning into a craft project! Especially into a fun rainbow papercraft.

Tips for making these construction paper flowers.

• To speed up the cutting process, we recommend grabbing a circle punch.
• If you’re not making a rainbow flower, just cut 6 circles from any color you like.  You will need 6 circles to make your construction paper flower.
• Another way to speed up the cutting process, try stacking a few sheets together and cut them at once.
• Try making these paper flowers in all different sizes!  To easily create the smaller flowers, I used a 1″ hole punch. 
• Experiment with different shapes! Try heart-shaped petals or adding a small circle to the middle.
