Paper Plate Sunflower

The first step depends on the age of the child. You can either leave the plate as is and simply color it yellow with paint, crayons or markers-leaving the center white. If the child is older they can use scissors and cut the edges of the plate into petal shapes. Either way, it turns out great! After they've colored the "petals", then they should glue the sunflower seeds in a round pattern on the center of the plate until it's filled.

If you'd like to hang the sunflowers, punch two holes-one on each side at the top of the sunflower. Make sure they are evenly spaced from the sides and the top so it will hang straight. Tie a piece of twine, raffia or yarn to each hole and hang!

Note: You can also do this project with small paper plates and attach a wooden craft stick to the back of the plate. If you have a small plastic or clay pot, you can put a piece of Styrofoam or floral foam inside, cover it with Spanish moss or cloth to hide and insert the sunflower into it's pot.
