Yes, our crafts are back. With Valentine's Day coming up, I plan to resume posting a craft every week or two. This week's kid-friendly idea I can't claim credit for creating. My 6-year-old daughter remembered making these flowers at MOPS last year. She decided to whip up a simple bouquet for Grandma and Grandpa during our recent visit over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Materials Used:- colored construction paper
- drinking straws (or chenille stems)
- transparent tape
- scissors
What She Did:- Traced and cut out hand shapes.
- Taped each hand around a straw.
- Curled the fingers to form petals.
Her grandma was absolutely thrilled to receive a paper bouquet, especially when she realized that her granddaughters' traced hands were what formed each blossom. I was amazed my daughter took the initiative to make something that was so easy and meaningful to create.
