Roses Need: Egg carton, paint, pipe cleaner, paper,
ribbon, green tissue paper
Directions:
Another pretty bouquet to give for Mother's Day is
one made of egg carton roses. Cut up cardboard egg
cartons and trim around each cup to form the "rose". I
usually have each child make six. They then paint the
cups red inside and out. When dry poke a small hole in
the bottom through which a green pipe cleaner is
inserted. Curl the top of the pipe cleaner to keep the
rose from falling off. The children can cut a
construction paper leaf for each stem and glue to pipe
cleaner. You now have a beautiful bouquet of long
stemmed roses! They can be tied with a ribbon and
wrapped in green tissue paper like they are when you buy
real roses at a florist, or put into a child-made vase! |
