Ty and Addie with their flowers!
This project idea comes from the March 2012 issue of Family Fun Magazine under the title Cosmic Cosmos. Directions: Paint the inside and outside of a cardboard tube - we used toilet paper tubes. Flatten a 2nd tube and cut 1/2" to 3/4" wide rings from it. Pain them green on the inside and outside. Paint a wooden dowel or bamboo skewer green - for the stem. Let all of the paint dry. For the petals, cut slits into both ends of the tube. leaving an inch-long section in the center uncut. Fold the petals open. Crumble a piece of tissue paper and push it into the middle of the flower. Insert the stem into the side of the tube, by making a small hole. Attach the leaves to the stem with craft glue. Materials Needed: cardboard tubes, paint, paint brush, tissue paper, scissors, bamboo skewer or wooden dowel
