The DLTK-holidays site offers an idea for making flowers from muffin liners. They suggest having children color and decorate two muffin tin liners and then have them glue the liners, one on top of the other, onto a piece of paper, creating the blossom of a flower. The site provides a template of a stem and leaves that you can print out, cut out and glue to the paper to complete the craft. Alternatively, you could draw and cut out your own stem and leaves from green construction paper and glue them to the paper.
Another flower craft that the site suggests involves using a coffee filter and a pipe cleaner. To make this flower, the site suggests laying a coffee filter out on a flat surface and coloring it with different colors of washable markers. After coloring the coffee filter, squirt it with water and the markers will bleed into one another, creating a tie-dye effect. Next, cut a small piece off of a green pipe cleaner. Insert the remaining, longer piece pipe cleaner into the center of the coffee filter and roll about 1-inch of the portion sticking through the top of the coffee filter down into a ball; this will prevent the filer from falling off the pipe cleaner. Crumple and fold the coffee filter up around the pipe cleaner, creating the look of flower petals. Wrap the small piece of pipe cleaner around the underside of the coffee filter and pipe cleaner, further securing the coffee filter in place.
The site suggests creating tulips from children's handprints. To do so, have children cover their forearms with green finger paint and press them onto construction paper, creating the look of a flower stem. Have children dip their fingers, excluding their thumbs, into red, yellow, pink or purple finger paint and have them press their hands onto the paper with their fingers closed, just above the stem -- this will be the bloom of the tulip. They may paint leaves on either side of the stem, if they wish.
The site offers a flower activity that provides children with scissor practice. For this craft, print out the template of the flower provided by the site or draw your own flower and distribute it to children. Have kids cut out pieces of construction paper; there is no right or wrong way, the objective is to have children practice cutting with scissors. After cutting out the pieces of paper, children can glue them onto the flower outline, adding color to it.
