Craft: Paper Flower

• Need: Scrapbooking paper in various spring-like patterns, green craft paper, glue sticks and one circle-inital per child.
• Prior to storytime, using scrapbooking paper cut 2 larger flower shapes. Using Microsoft Publisher, I  made a text box-circle using the first letter initial of each of my kiddos. Cut this out as well.
• When it is time for the children to head to the craft table, ask each child to find the seat that has their initial.
• Instruct the children to glue together their flower in any pattern, design, etc. that they wanted. 

Here are the finished products:

Had to throw this one in. They were actually sitting and discussing the various trucks! So, cute.
