3. Paper Hyacinths
Children can learn how to make paper loops by making these lovely paper hyacinths.
The fun thing about them is that you can make them in different sizes. Make large ones to decorate a bulletin board in the classroom or small ones to glue to the front of a card for Mom or Grandma.
4. Mix and Match Flower Craft
What could be sweeter than your child’s face in the center of a pretty flower? Kids will have a blast making these mix-and-match flowers. Swap out the flower petals or leaves. Choose between a vase, a flowerpot, or no container at all.
The best thing of all is adding their photos to the flowers. Add magnetic tape to the back to turn them into cute magnets for the fridge.
This is one of our favorite spring flower crafts for teachers or parents.
5. Kindness Flowers
We could all use a little more kindness in the world. Encourage kids to make one of these kindness flowers to give to a friend. It could really lift someone’s spirit!
Print a kind word that describes the recipient on each flower petal. Then, watch for the big beaming smile when you pass it along. 🙂
This is a terrific activity for schools, scout activities, or summer camps.
6. Toilet Paper Roll Flowers
Just think of all the possibilities with this fun craft made with recycled toilet paper rolls and cardstock.
Paint the cardboard tubes green to make the stem and add cardstock leaves. Cut flowers of different shapes and place pom-poms in the center.

7. Plastic Bottle Flowers
Although plastic bottles should normally go in the recycling, save a few to upcycle them into beautiful plastic flowers. You’ll also need the caps to make the flower centers.
Children will need adult help and supervision for this craft, especially with cutting the plastic and the skewers for the stems.
Make several flowers in different colors to create a lovely bouquet.

Learn how to make tissue paper flowers. It’s a great skill to learn because you can make them in various colors to suit all sorts of celebrations, from Cinco de Mayo to the 4th of July and more!

9. Cupcake Liner Flowers
Ring in spring with some beautifully simple cupcake liner flowers. With patterned cupcake liners, craft sticks, and some construction paper, you can make gorgeous flower art to display on your wall, or fridge, or turn into a card for someone special.
