What you will need:

• Paint and Paint Brush
• Egg Carton (not foam)
• Paper Straw
• Pom Poms

First cut out four connected containers from the egg carton. Trim around the edges so that it gives it a rounder shape for the petals of the flower.

Squirt some paint colors onto a paper plate and have the kids paint their flowers. Use any colors you’d like.

After the paint’s dried you can attach the stem of the flower by gluing it to the back. Use a paper straw (or popsicle stick) so that it was thick enough to hold up the egg carton. If you use something like a pipe cleaner it will just bend. Next choose a colored pom pom(or crumpled tissue paper) and glue that to the center of the painted egg carton.
