Request for Spring Craft

Gia requested a spring craft this past Wednesday! I was very excited and had soo many ideas. I had found a finger play called Five Pretty Flowers   and thought we could make Flowers and then act out the poem =)  Now what kind of flower craft could we do and easy for Nadia to do too?  I searched the internet and didn really liking what i finding. Then on FB activities pops up No Time for Flash Cards and her Pop out flower craft. PERFECT just what i was looking for!! I tweeked it a bit to go with what i was doing. I made 5 flowers before hand to match the "five pretty flowers"  I used Construction paper, cup cake wrap, and double sided tape (gia's idea for the cup cake wraps..lol)  The girls flowers were a little bit different.

Then i took it a little further =P   I was at the dollar store a few days before and picked up cute cookie cutters. not that i was going to use it for cookies but figured they would be great for some type of craft.  Well the way they were shaped i thought they were perfect for this....................

Could not believe it worked!! The girls Loved it!! 

Here is the craft.

For Nadia, I wanted to come up with something that was easy and quick! Also were we didnt have to wait for the glue to dry.  I came up with putting double sided tape on each peddle on Toilet paper (pre cut)

and then had her pick up the red peddles and stick them on the TP.

Double sided tape was also on the stick & for the green leaf!  Look at that face!!! she was so proud of herself..lol

Gia colored the peddles

Gia loves to glue things so i thought it would be better for her then using the double sided tap. So we glued that on to a cup cake wrapper, glued them to the stick and added leaves. put aside to dry

Gia loves to pretend to sell stuff.. lol. So this was perfect and told her that she would be selling the flowers and we say the poem as we go. She set herself up in her little house.. LOL we used the flowers that i had already made and nadias (since there was no glue involved)

Here is Nadia buying her flower =)  This was so cute and fun but the girls lost interest in the poem fast.. lol 

Every time i bought a flower i would put it underneath the window. when there was nothing left Gia had to go flower picking. She really got a kick out of this....

Not sure why gia put her leaves on like that but hey, what ever works =P
