Paper Plate Flower

ages 2-4

Supplies

Paper plates, scissors, water colors, construction paper

Activity Detail

Cut a paper plate into a flower by cutting out triangles all the way around edge. The triangle tips should reach all the way down to the inner circle of the paper plate, creating petals around the edge. (Trace the lines to cut along with a pencil for older children or pre-cut the plate for little ones). Once the "flower" has been created, help your child to paint the flower with water colors and watch the paint make neat designs as the paint spreads out on the plate! Add leaves and stems and hang it on the fridge.
