I got a big Crepe Paper Flower from my son. The mixture of colours he used to make it is mesmerizing. He made it for my birthday so you can imagine how moved I was to see my son's effort.

My son is big enough to cope with task like a crepe flower, but I thought of kids who are younger, and you want to encourage them to make some paper flowers. While looking for ideas, I came across Paper Plate Flowers on Happy Hooligans. The project is ingenious. It's so simple craft that it's suitable for toddlers and preschoolers. Painting, colour-mixing, shape recognition, cutting and gluing these are all the activities kids adore, so this project is just right up their street.

If you want your little ones to develop their manual skills, this enterprise is the one you should choose. After they finish send us the photos of the flowers.
