Egg Carton Flowers

It may be tricky to get your hands on a bouquet of flowers these days but you can still make one! Brighten up this spring day with these easy egg carton flowers!

Supplies:

• Paint
• Egg carton
• straws (substitute sticks from outside or pipe cleaners if you don’t have straws)
• Pom poms (substitute acorns, pennies—anything round!)
• Scissors
• Glue

Directions:

1. Adults, cut out four containers out of the egg carton. Trim around the edges so that it gives it a rounder shape for the petals of the flower.
2. Squirt some paint colors onto a paper plate and have the kids paint their flowers. Use any colors you’d like. If you are using something other than a pom pom for your center, you may want to paint that too.
3. After the paint’s dried you can attach the stem of the flower by gluing it to the back.
4. Next choose a colored pom pom and glue that to the center of the painted egg carton
5. Decide where to display your new flowers!
