With my garden blooming, my kids are often picking roses and digging in the dirt. It’s great fun. However, when it’s really hot or I don’t feel like getting mud tracked into my house, I encourage my children to do a flower craft instead. Here are three easy flower crafts for kids!
Paper Plate Flowers
All kids need to make this craft is two paper plates, a paintbrush, glue, scissors and water paints. First have kids use one color to paint one plate (plate #1) one solid color. Next, take the second plate (plate #2) and have them use a different color for the petals and another one for the center of the flower. Take the plate #2 and cut petals out so that the edges are slightly smaller than plate #1. Glue plate #2 on top of plate #1. If desired, make a stem with some green construction paper and glue it on the back of plate #1.

Pom Pom Flowers
For this craft, children will need several different colors of pom poms, construction paper and glue. Have children glue their pom poms in a circular pattern. You can have them use a different color for the center. Afterwards, kids can use a metallic marker to draw our stems. Allow the flowers to dry completely before hanging or moving around.

Pastel Flowers
I like working with oil pastels because they blend nicely...as opposed to crayons. However, remember that these may stain clothing so make sure to have kids wear a smock and cover the craft surface with a plastic tablecloth. I also keep baby wipes nearby so they don’t get the pastels all over their hands. For this art project, kids will need construction paper and a set of oil pastels. Children can draw several different types of flowers on their paper. Encourage kids to blend different colors together to achieve unique shades.
I hope these flower crafts for kids brightens everyone’s day!
