Parts of a Flower Craft

This craft was super simple and quick to do, but a great ‘hands-on’ craft for our preschooler to remember the parts of a flower. Our focus was learning about four parts: flower, leaves, stem and roots and the supplies we used are just as simple.

You’ll need:

• tissue paper {your color choice!}
• 4 or 5 pieces of brown yarn cut into 6” lengths
• green pipe cleaner
• green construction paper
• tape

Putting it together:

1. We used the pipe cleaner as our stem and then tied the yarn to the base of our stem {some of the pieces we tied onto other pieces of yarn so our roots would ‘spread’ out a bit.

2. We folded the tissue paper up accordian style and then wrapped the other end of the pipe cleaner around it in the center and fanned out the tissue paper so it looked more like a flower.

3. I cut some leaves out of the construction paper and taped them to our stem.

Simple, short and sweet ~ but a great ‘hands-on’ craft for learning about flowers!
