A Flower Bouquet




Gather supplies.  You need a piece of white paper, a piece of green construction paper (you could use green paint if you dont have construction paper), a piece of tan construction paper (you could paint your childs hand if you do not have paper), several colors of tissue paper, glue,  scissors and a pencil. 


Trace your childs hand on the 
tan construction paper and cut out.  Set aside.


Cut green construction paper into strips to make stems for flowers.  Make sure they will fit on white paper, leaving room for the flowers at the top!  They may be different lengths.


Photo 4 – Glue green strips onto white paper.


Cut tissue paper into 3x3 inch squares.  You will need 
more of the squares than you have stems!


Place tissue on paper, set pencil in center (eraser side down) and pull tissue up around the pencil and glue to paper.  Do this for all of the flowers!





Glue hand on top of stems, holding bouquet.
