Flower Collage Activity

Make a Flower Collage

You will need;

A4 piece of paper (or larger)

Coloured card or paper (green + any other colours)

Glue

Scissors

1. Pre-prepare flower cut-outs, you will need to cut out;

several leaves in different sizes

several stems in different lengths

petals in different colours and shapes

circles in different colours and sizes – these are for the flower centres

2. Lay the shapes out and let your child ‘build’ his/her own flowers – one shape at a time and glue them onto the paper.

*Tip Don’t interfere too much, they will learn about the different shapes – they will learn even more when the flower doesn’t look right because the leaf is in the wrong place! You can do this activity again and again with different pictures progessing in difficulty as they get older – try a doll, a car, a house…..
