Kids’ Crafts: Flower Power

Here in Portland it’s the most beautiful time of year. Everything seems to be blooming at once. I know it won’t last forever, so we’re enjoying it while it lasts; going for nature walks, playing in the backyard, and taking lots of pictures of the beautiful flowers we find. Another way for the family to preserve some of the color and texture of spring is by using real flowers in our crafts projects with the kids.

This first project is a fresh take on a pressed flower craft kids can make using fallen flowers found in the neighborhood.

Dried Pressed Flowers Suncatchers – In the Playroom

This next one is a classic, and my niece’s favorite spring science experiment.

Flower Experiment for Kids – Growing a Jeweled Rose

If you give them the a few interesting tools (and flowers!) the kids can create beautiful bright nature inspired artwork!

Flower Print and Scrape Painting – Playful Learning

These pressed flower bookmarks are wonderful keepsakes and they make great presents for moms and grandparents!

Pressed Flower Bookmarks – Little Green Fingers

Pressed flowers also make beautiful decorations for all year round. These would look lovely hanging from the window sill or from the Christmas tree.
