We painted coffee filters and added sunflower seeds and stems…. |
 |
Our bulletin board reads “April Showers Bring Pretty Spring Flowers” |
 |
Pretty Springtime Kite poetry |
 |
We added chains to each kite of our spelling words written two times each…. |
 |
The flowers can be either painted with water colors or dipped in food coloring and dried….. |
 |
We did it both ways and the food coloring way is definitely easier and less messy! |
 |
Just snip a little strip in between two folds so every 3rd fold cut out…. |
 |
Paint the center area a different color and when dried add the sunflower seeds to the flower…. |
 |
They were all different color combinations….really cute…. |
 |
So were our poems from all things SPRING! |
 |
Sports were represented……as well as…… |
 |
Allergies of course…..and…… |
 |
Insects of all sorts….. |
 |
And Springtime Animals too……can’t forget those…… |
 |
And all kinds of weather and flowers…and even Hunting! |
 |
Of course football….we have some die hard football lovers here….. |
 |
And Gardening too…. |
 |
Easter poems too…. |
 |
And plants…I think we covered it all! |
 |
This is an easy art project for spring….coffee filter flowers…. |
 |
Dip them…..dry them….trim them….and glue them on a stem with a leaf….. |
 |
We backed our flowers with another filter just to keep them looking 3 D and perky…. |
 |
It was fun and easy! Dip and Dry….then trim them and embellish them…. |
 |
This little girl “rounded” her petals on her Spring Watercolored flowers too. |
 |
Gotta love the flower with a face, am I right? Happy Spring Everybody! |
