Tissue Paper Flowers
With a couple of tissues and a pipe cleaner, you can make the most beautiful flowers. Due to the fine motor needed though, this is one for the bigger kids. These flowers are so effective, you will find that your kids can’t stop at making just one.
Take two tissues placing one on top of the other and cut them in half
Then place the two cut pieces one on top of the other
Fold the tissue as you would to make a fan. Carefully keep it neat
With your folding complete, hold together firmly
Secure pipe cleaner around the middle of the folded tissue just tight enough to keep in place
Once your stem is secure, pull the fan edges outwards to meet each other & press together
Now separate the four layers of tissue by peeling apart, pulling upwards as you work your way round
Kids can dip the edges of their completed flowers into water coloured paint or use texta to add colour
