DLTK's Winter Crafts for Kids:
Paper Poinsettia Flowers

We usually make ours with 3 inch petals but you can make them as large or as small as you need.

Instructions:

• fold a piece of red construction paper in half.  Rub your finger along the crease so it's a nice clean fold.
    
  NOTE:  older children and adults can fold 2 or 3 times before cutting to make a group of petals.  Young children should stick to a single fold.
    
• Cut a half petal shape out along the fold, so that when you open your petal it's symmetrical (the same on both sides) with a fold down the center.
    
• Repeat this process until you have five petals

• Use a hole punch to punch out a number of yellow dots from the yellow construction paper.  
    
• Assemble your flower by gluing the five petals in a circle and gluing the yellow dots in the center.
