Tips for making this construction paper flower:

• Let your child chose whatever color they want for their flowers. There is no wrong answer!
• This craft is perfect for building cutting skills. Watch your child for proper scissor technique.
• Construction paper works well for the flowers since it is easier to fold and cut through multiple layers.
• You can cut some of the edges and open them to see the design. Then fold it back up and add more if you like!

Materials

• White or Blue Paper for Background
• Flower Color Construction Paper

Tools

• Pencil (optional for younger kids)
• Scissors
• Glue Stick

Instructions

1. Fold your construction paper into 4ths. Then make a triangle corner so you can create squares.
2. Cut off the excess paper.
3. Unfold and cut into 4 squares.
4. Fold back into a triangle and lightly fold up the right tip.
5. Then fold up the left tip. This should create a tulip shape. Adjust so that all 3 triangles are the same size.
6. Round off the uneven edges. This will leave you with a teardrop shape.
7. If your child is able to cut the edges of the shape let them go to town. If not let them use a pencil to draw some shapes for you to cut out.
8. Unfold your flowers and arrange them on your paper.
9. Glue down flowers in a few places to secure them.
10. Using your green marker add stems, leaves, and/or vines. Then place grass along the bottom of the paper.
