I’ve been meaning to do bottle stamping for ages. And I’m so glad we did it as a flower art project! It was so simple! Easy Stamping Spring Flower Art Craft for KidsWe were all in the mood to add a little spring color to our house. This simple spring craft was just the ticket!  Plus, it’s super simple. Even toddlers can handle stamping the bottom of a bottle into paint and onto paper. To stamp your own spring flowers, you’ll need:
Even though the actual stamping is really simple, it’s still three steps to get to the finished project. I’m actually amazed that Henry took to this activity because it was on one of those days. But he really, really enjoyed it. And we got some great artwork for the wall just in time for the flowers to start popping up outside! Anyone else as super excited as I am for that first bloom? Get Stamping for Pretty Spring Flower ArtI was going to say that the straw blown stems was his favorite part… but now I’m not sure! Every step was really fun!  To make the stems, I dropped a few drops of green food coloring into a small bowl of water. Henry used a dropper/syringe to squirt some in one spot on the paper.  Then he blew it, using the straw, as far across the paper as he could! Once the paper was filled with flower stems, it was time for the flowers to “bloom.” See what I did there?  I put some purple paint in a small dish just big enough for a soda bottle to fit into. Henry dipped the bottle into the paint and printed flowers on the top of his stems.  For the finishing touch: the flower center. With a quick dip of his thumb into some yellow paint, Henry added the centers to the flowers.
That’s it! His flower art project is complete.  What are your favorite spring flower art projects? We’d love to share your creativity with our community! |

Winter has been extra long here in the UK. Although we've kept ourselves busy with winter activities, spring is our favorite. Brighter days, shiny green shoots, and colorful flowers get us excited! To get us in a spring mood, Melissa and I decided to make a flower craft. She had a hard time deciding between making a sun or a flower. In the end, she decided a colorful flower would be more fun. She loves flowers!
I thought it would be great to use some old magazines and catalogs before they went into our recycling bin. A collage sounded like a good idea! This activity turned out to be very easy to set up and didn’t need many materials. In fact, we had everything already on hand! I bet you do, too.
Make Your Spring Flower Art Collage With:– Scissors
I drew the outline of a flower on our stock paper and Melissa wanted to add some grass too. We only had an A3 (11.7in x 16.5in) paper so it turned out to be quite a big flower! You can use a smaller sized paper to make quicker collages, too. Melissa chose the colors of every part of her flower ahead of time., It makes it easier when looking for them in the magazines.
Then the search and cutting began! Melissa would look for the colors and cut them out of the magazines. She separated them into piles by color.
After we had decided we had enough of each color, she started gluing them in their place. This part is a lot of fun because there's no right or wrong here. Even going outside the outline a bit gives it an extra artistic effect!
She had chosen different colors for each petal. We were both looking forward to seeing see how they would turn out. Pink is her favourite colour, so she worked especially hard on that petal!
We loved our flower collage. Melissa was very proud! She hung it in our living room so everyone can see it. What are your favorite activities to get ready for spring? |
