Egg Carton Flowers

Abstract art doesn't get cooler than this. Super simple, and super fun this activity will have your kiddos wanting do endless combinations.

--WHAT YOU'LL NEED--

Acrylic Paint
Egg Carton (not foam)
Paper Straw
Pom Poms
Scissors
Glue
Paint Brush

--STEP 1--

Have an adult cut out four containers out of the egg carton. Trim around the edges so that it gives it a rounder shape for the petals of the flower.

--STEP 2--

Squirt some acrylic paint colours onto a paper plate and have the kids paint their flowers. Use any colours you’d like or use a pastel palate.

--STEP 3--

After the paint’s dried you can attach the stem of the flower by gluing it to the back. Use a paper straw so that it is thick enough to hold up the egg carton, if you use something like a pipe cleaner it will just bend.

--STEP 4--

Next choose a coloured pom pom and glue that to the center of the painted egg carton.
