Easy Flower Craft

This is an easy flower craft made from the bottom of a 2 litter soda bottle. This is another cute craft we found in the book Crafts To Make In The Spring by Kathy Ross.
You will need: 2 liter bottle, scissors,packing or masking tape, construction paper, wooden stick(or green straw or Popsicle stick), hole punch, and if you use a wooden stick or Popsicle stick- green paint.

1. Cut the bottom off the 2 liter bottle about 1 inch.
2. We painted the bottle bottom with acrylic paint on the top picture. The flower pictured below was left unpainted.
3. Cut out a circle for the enter of the flower and glue on. You can add seeds to the center for more decoration.
4. Punch a hole in the edge of one of the flower petals. Slide the straw or stick up through the hole to make a stem. Tape the stem into place.
5. Cut out leaves and punch a hole in the center. Slide on stick and tape on.
If you do not have a bottle just use a paper bowl.

Super Easy Volcanos

I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

This is a great craft for even young children. I think it turned out so cute. You will need: Red, yellow and orange paint, scissors, toilet paper roll, and green construction paper (or card stock). Cut the green paper into the shape of the tree top. Use fingerprints dipped in the paint as Fall leaves. Cut 2 slits down, across from each other on the toilet paper roll. Slide tree top into those slits.

If you Dad is into fishing I think this would be a great Father's Day Card for the kids to make. We used: Fish Coloring Page , tissue paper or crepe paper (cut up into sqares), glue, construction paper, wiggly eye, and a marker. Glue on pieces of the tissue paper and eye to the coloring page. Cut out the fish pattern. Glue on to folded construction paper. Write," Fishing You a Happy Father's Day !!!!" Cheyanne made one for her daddy and one for God.
