This free set comes with plain and numbered flowers that are a variety of colors. Tape to popsicle sticks as hand-held props, or stick a magnetic piece on back of each flower to display on a cookie sheet.

  • Stamping Flowers

Use flower-shaped cookie cutters, dipping them into paint and then onto paper.

  • Flower Painting

Dip flowers into paint and then press onto paper.

  • Watercolors and Flowers

This is a two step process. First, paint the paper with watercolors. Then, glue foam flowers on top.

Easel

  • Painting With Flowers

I took stems of artificial flowers and placed them at the easel along with a tray of paint and paper. The children can dip the flowers into the paint and press them onto the paper.
