Paper Flowers: Crafting With Kids

Kammi and kids bring you… Flowers!

Although, what is one to do when Spring has just begun and it’s still be a frosty for the buds to start blooming? Well, my daughter and I figured out a way to brighten up our kitchen table with flowers while we eagerly wait for the “real deals” to blossom…use tissue paper! This is such an easy and fun craft for all ages to enjoy and quickly adds a splash of color to any room. While we created multiple colored flowers and decorated a “vase” to set on the table you could also make these as a single flower or bunch a group together as a bouquet for a Mother’s Day present, help support Earth Day on April 22^nd or hand out to friends and family on May Day (May 1^st).
