Sunflower Classroom Craft

 

What you will need: paper plate, glue, scissors, popsicle stick, green marker, green construction paper, yellow paint & lots and lots of sunflower seeds

1. Using the yellow paint, paint the frontside of the plate. Set it aside to dry.
2. With a green marker, color your entire popsicle stick  (front, back & don’t forget the sides)
3. Grab a pair of scissors and your green construction paper, Cut some leaves to attach to the popsicle stick.
4. Grab the glue, attach the leaves to the sides of the popsicle stick.
5. Once your plate is dry, cut 8 triangles out of the outer ring of the plate. This step creates the petals of the flower.
6. Glue the popsicle stick with the attached leaves to the back side (this is the side of the plate that is still white).
7. Grab 30 (give or take) sunflower seeds and your glue, glue each seed on to the center of the plate, space them apart evenly creating the center of the sunflower.

This is the perfect craft for a classroom picture! Take the kids outside in this beautiful fall weather and have them say smile big with their sunflowers!
