Flower Wreaths

In Autumn I put out these dried and plastic flower wreaths for the children to decorate. In Australia the children remember the poppy wreaths from ANZAC Day.

However the children often get so involved with decorating the wreaths and spend so much time that they wish they could take them home.

So here is an activity so that they can do just that.

We traced around a glass for the middle hole (which I cut out) and a side plate for the outside which the children cut out using a variety of scissors depending on their skills. Make sure the cardboard isn’t too thick.

 

You can use all sorts of flowers to decorate the wreath such as dried and pressed flowers, leaves, tissue paper flowers, flowers cut out of wrapping paper, bottle top flowers … the options are endless!
