Instructions
This first sunflower was super easy to make. I cut out petals and the kids used brown paint to paint the bottom of a paper plate. The kids used q-tips and black paint to add the spots.
With the second sunflower I cut the petals like before and the kids painted the paper plate brown. However, we used some bubble wrap and black paint to make a pattern on the plate.
