| 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! |
