Looking for a fun and educational spring craft project for kids at kinder? This easy tutorial guide is just what you need! Spring is the perfect time to introduce creative activities that celebrate the season’s bright colors and blooming flowers. In this step-by-step project, children will learn how to make a beautiful paper flower using simple, kid-friendly materials—perfect for classroom fun or a rainy day at home.
Materials You’ll Need:
- Colored cardboard paper
- Black cardboard
- White glue
- Scissors
- A circular lid or a round cookie cutter
Step-by-Step Instructions to Make a Beautiful Paper Flower:
- First of all, choose a red sheet of cardboard paper—or any color you like—and draw ten circles using a round lid or cookie cutter. Next, carefully cut out each circle with scissors. After that, gently curl each circle to give it a rounded, petal-like shape. Apply a bit of white glue to the ends where the edges meet, hold it in place, and allow it to dry. Be sure to repeat this step for all ten circles, as these will form the petals of your flower.
- Now, let’s move on to the leaves. Take a green piece of cardboard and draw two circles on it. Cut them out and curl them just like you did with the petals. However, this time, make sure to press them a bit tighter before gluing the ends together. Let them dry completely. These will be the leaves of your flower.
- For the stem, use another piece of green cardboard. Cut a wide strip, roll it up tightly to form a tube, and glue along the edge to keep it in place. Set it aside to dry.
- Next, take your black cardboard as the base for assembling your flower. Begin by placing the red petals in a circle, making sure the pointed ends face inward. Glue them down securely. Then, cut a small yellow circle and glue it right in the center of the petals to form the flower’s core.
- Finally, take the green tube (your stem) and attach it to the center bottom of the flower. Add the green leaves to each side of the stem for a natural look.
- If you want to make your flower even more fun and unique, feel free to decorate it with glitter, sequins, or any other materials you love.
And just like that—it’s ready! 🌸
