This is a wonderfully pretty activity that is relatively mess-free – no painting involved – and makes a wonderful gift!

This activity involves cutting and sticking so it involves the chance to practice some of those basic skills like cutting and co-ordination!

We love making flowers! I’ll add a few more ideas to the end of this page!

A large piece of thick paper or cardboard for the background. We used an A3 size – so a little bigger to give us more space to work with!

Scissors & Glue

Gather all your materials including a large – A3 – piece of background card or thick paper – we used white, colored circles of different sizes, green for the stems and choose a color for your vase.
Glue, and scissors
The first thing you do is make your vase – in the shape you choose. Cut it out but do not stick it down. You need to place it onto the paper so you know where the stems will go – however you first stick the stems and then stick the vase – this gives the effect that the stems come out of the vase.
If you want to decorate your vase, you can choose to decorate it at the end once stuck in place or before you stick it down.

Once your stems and vase are stuck down you can begin to cut and stick your flowers.
To make your flowers you need to cut the circles into spirals. Leave a little round bit in the middle – this is where you stick it down.
