I'm sure you all have done some sort of coffee filter flowers before. Well, this morning we couldn't go outside because of the rain so we spent a little extra time on crafts....these kids love to make crafts (and so do I)......we made a couple different kinds of flowers with the coffee filters.
The first one we made, I used 2 coffee filters for each child.....cut one out to look like a stem and leaves and the other one to resemble a flower shape. Then the kids just started dripping watercolors on both until they were covered or drenched in watercolor!
Some of the kids made their stems green and some wanted theirs more colorful.
This is a great project for working on those fine motor skills and also for mixing colors to make new colors. I will show you the other flowers we created tomorrow.....they are still drying and then need to be assembled.
