Felt Flower Card

What You Need:

• Watercolor paper
• Watercolor paint
• Felt in various colors
• Button
• Scissors
• Pencil
• White glue
• Stapler
• Paintbrush

What You Do:

1. Have your child fold the watercolor paper in half lengthwise, to create a long vertical card.
2. Now she can choose her favorite springtime colors to paint onto the front of the card. Use plenty of water to make the colors bright! Allow to dry completely.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Glue a button in the centre of the flower to cover the staples.
7. Write a message in your card and give it to someone you love.
