Draw the stems after the heads dry, which takes ten minutes. A three year old stamps, tears, crumples and colors coffee filters alone. Cutting egg carton cups, snipping paper plate petals and writing on the kindness flower petals are for you or a five year old with scissors practice. For Mother's Day or a grandparent, the painted flower pot with real seeds in it and the coffee filter bouquet on pipe cleaner stems are the ones that travel well as gifts. Nature paint brushes are the one to do outside: collect leaves and grass on a walk, bundle them with a rubber band, and paint on the porch where the drips do not matter. ## What you need for flower crafts Most of these use the same handful of supplies: green paper, glue, white paper, light blue paper, green pipe cleaner, green marker, paper plate for the paint, coloured paper. Everything else is named on the craft it belongs to.
