Button Flowers for Mom

By 1 Comment

Mother's Day Crafts

Just a quick little tutorial on how to make these cute little button flowers. Kids can make these themselves and give to Mom for mother’s day!

And don’t feel sheepish showing your children how to make them, believe me, they are more then proud to hand a bouquet of these handcrafted beauties right back to you. Just show them how, give them the strips of paper and leave them at the table a while so they can “Surprise” you.

Trust me, They love it!

Flower Pot Mosiac

By Leave a Comment

Since we’ve been busy in the garden, planting all of our seeds, and working on our Gardening Lapbook, I realized that we better throw in a little bit of Garden Crafting too!

Kids Garden Crafts
I found this amazing book called
“The Christian Kids Gardening Guide”
and I just had to order a copy for our homeschool classroom, what better way to start learning about gardening, then by learning God’s word right alongside it!

(Here are some sample pages to check out….looks really neat doesn’t it! (Now to try and wait patiently for it to arrive…..that’s the hard part.)

Anyway, as we’re learning all about the different flowers and vegetables that will be gracing our garden this year, we started out by adding a bit of flair to some regular old clay pots.

You can do this craft with any old flower pot, so check out the Goodwill, Freecycle, and Garage sales because they’re much cheaper then buying new pots at the craft store.

And since this is a “Hot Glue” craft be sure and follow your gut as to whether or not you’re child is ready to try this one! (I’ll tell you that my 6 year old did just fine, but my 3 year old wasn’t so keen to keeping his fingers out of the glue….but he just didn’t want to quit making it either….LOL, he is his Father’s son)
