7. Pink Straw Flowers
Materials Needed:
- Pink plastic drinking straws
- Scissors
- Pink construction paper or foam
- Glue
- Green pipe cleaners (for stems)
How to Create:
Cut the straws into small pieces to form the petals of a flower. Use the pieces of straw to arrange a flower shape on a piece of paper, gluing them down one by one. Cut out a circle from pink construction paper or foam to serve as the center of the flower. Attach a green pipe cleaner as the stem, and your little ones have their very own pink flowers!
Why it’s Great:
- Helps develop spatial awareness and crafting skills.
- A fun way to reuse common materials like plastic straws.
- Great for creating a beautiful flower bouquet.
