What You Need:
- Watercolor paper
- Watercolor paint
- Felt in various colors
- Button
- Scissors
- Pencil
- White glue
- Stapler
- Paintbrush
What You Do:
- Have your child fold the watercolor paper in half lengthwise, to create a long vertical card.
- Now they can choose their favorite springtime colors to paint onto the front of the card. Use plenty of water to make the colors bright! Allow to dry completely.
- Next, draw a long stem with a leaf on the green felt. Then cut it out and glue it in the centre of the card.
- Cut out four circles from various colors of felt. Start with a circle a little larger than a quarter. Each circle should be slightly larger than the last, while still being able to fit onto the cover.
- Stack the circles on top of each other in order of size, and staple them in the centre. Place them in the centre of the card and staple it down.
- Glue a button in the centre of the flower to cover the staples.
- Write a message in your card and give it to someone you love.
