I love this craft not only is it beautiful and uses common materials, it's great fine motor skill practice too!

You will need markers, glue, tissue paper, a paper plate , scissors and ribbon.

Start by coloring your flower ( paper plate)

Next rip small pieces of tissue paper off and crumple into balls ( thyis was the kids favorite part).

Glue the tissue paper balls in the middle.

This is a simple craft that can be made by an older child to use themselves or for a younger sibling. My son loved how this made flowers so easy for him.

1. Gather your materials. You will need some cardboard, pointed scissors ( not for young kids), markers,a hole punch and some construction paper.

We made these for a friend's birthday but they are a beautiful Valentine's gift as well. We used printed cupcake liners but using plain and drawing on them would be a great way to involved younger children. Either way it's fast, cute and not at all messy!

1. Gather your materials, you will need some green and red pipe cleaners, some cupcake liners and tape. I have scissors as an option if you want to cut the liners to make fancy shaped flowers.
