Brighten someone's day with this adorable flower card!


Supplies:

  • 2 sheets of yellow paper (you may need 3 sheets if your child's hands are larger)
  • 1 sheet of brown paper
  • 1 sheet of green paper


Directions:





1. Fold a sheet of yellow paper into fourths and trace your child's hand on the rectangle.





2. Cut out your child's hand so that you have four hands.






3. Repeat steps one and two to create four more hands. (8 total)






4. Fold the brown sheet of paper in half. 






5. Cut a circle out of the brown sheet, cutting so that the circle touches the fold, creating two attached circles that open like a card.






6. Draw "seeds" on the front of the circle and write a message inside the open circles.






7. Cut a strip out of the green paper and two leaves out of the green paper. Glue the leaves to each side of the stem.





8. Place the yellow hands in a circle so that the fingers are on the outside.





9. Glue the edges of the brown circle to the palms of the 8 hands, creating a flower. Be sure the card can freely open and close.






10. Glue the stem to the back of the flower.





11. Give it to someone special.
