Do-it-yourself Mother’s Day flower bouquet

Here is a great project for your kids to do with your husband/wife/partner/caregiver in preparation for Mother's Day (who are we kidding if you are the one reading this blog -- you are going to be the one to do it with him/her).  

Super easy & cute.  You will have a great time doing this project together and they will love giving it to you on your special day.

Enjoy!

Materials Needed:

• 1 piece of construction paper
•  
• tissue paper – cut into squares -- approx. 6 inches works well
•  
• markers, crayons, stickers, etc.
•  
• tape
•  
• glue (optional)
•  
• paintbrush (optional)

Instructions:

• Have your child decorate the construction paper with markers, crayons, stickers, etc. (whatever you have in the house).
•  
• Help your child roll the paper into a cone shape and tape it together.  This is going to be the wrapping around the flower bouquet. 
•  
• If using glue, have your child brush glue on the inside of the cone with the paintbrush.
•  
• Have your child crumple each square of tissue paper.
•  
• Have your child stuff the crumpled up tissue paper into the paper cone. (The glue will help to keep the tissue paper “flowers” inside).
•  
• Have them share with a loved one.  
•  
• Act surprised if for you!  
•  
• Hug, kiss, repeat.
