Equipment
Ingredients
- Construction paper yellow, brown, green
- Marker black
- Glue stick or other craft/school glue
- Sunflower seeds
Instructions
- Cut a big circle out of the yellow paper, a smaller circle from the brown, a long green rectangle, and several green leaf shapes.
- Glue the brown circle to the center of the yellow circle. Using the black marker, draw a crosshatch pattern on the brown circle.
- Cut through the yellow circle towards the center, stopping at the brown circle. Repeat this process every couple of inches to make the petals.
- Once all petals are cut, gently fold every other petal up slightly to give the flower dimension.
- Glue sunflower seeds to the brown circle.
- Glue the stem to the back of the sunflower, and then glue the leaves to the stem. Alternate sides when gluing the leaves.
