Happy May Day!

In honor of May Day we decided to make these cute little flowers. Plus we have tons of tissue paper lying about after celebrating Liv's birthday. This project was a lot of fun and really easy to do.

What You Need

Tissue paper
Glue
Safety Scissors (if your kiddo is learning to cut)
Construction Paper
Marker/Crayon

Directions

1) Cut a piece of green construction paper in half and draw lines for your little one to follow as they cut.

Looks are deceiving I actually had to help her cut most of the time.

2) Glue the lines to a sheet of paper.


3) Cut the tissue paper into approx 4 inch squares (I cut these out myself). Have your little one wad the paper up into a ball.

4) Glue the tissue paper onto the green stem to create your flower. We glued an additional wad of paper into that to add a little more dimension.

5) Sit back and admire. Or have your little one decorate the remaining paper with colors, markers, stickers, etc.



Happy May Day!
