F is for Flowers

Our craft project for F was flowers. I had a lot of ideas to make them fancy, but at the end of the day (or, more accurately, the beginning of the afternoon when I sat down to do this with Emma), I realized that easier was going to work better, so we simplified to using strips of paper.

The supplies:

Construction paper, glue, tape, scissors, pom-poms, and colored straws
We glued strips of paper together:

Added pom-poms for the centers and straws for the stems:

Voila! Paper flowers. Emma has been carrying them around for a few days now.

One hint: the pom-poms stay on better if you use special felt glue. (Elmer's doesn't do jack.) I found some at my craft store for about $2, so we added it to our supply closet.
