June 25th is Eric Carle's Birthday!

Celebrate Eric Carle's birthday and the arrival of summer with this cute "Tiny Seed" paper plate handprint flower.


You will need:
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Yellow Tissue Paper

How to:

  • Place a good amount of glue all over the paper plate
  • Place the tissue paper on the paper plate to completely cover it
  • Set the paper plate aside to dry
  • Trace child's hand on the construction paper
  • Cut out handprints to make the petals of the flower (depending on the size of the child's hand you will need 6-10 handprints)
  • Staple the handprints around the paper plate
  • Draw and cut out a stem and staple it to the plate
