DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
SUNNY the SUNFLOWER

This is a fun and simple cut and paste sunflower craft that's perfect for preschool and kindergarten children.

Materials:

  • paper
  • something to color with
  • scissors
  • glue
  • seeds (sunflower, popcorn or dried peas beans or lentils all work well)
  • yellow tissue paper or something to color with
  • green tissue paper or something to color with
     

Instructions:

  • Print out the template.
     
  • Cut out the template pieces.
     
  • Glue the flower and leaves onto the stem.  You can glue both onto a piece of white paper if that makes it easier to hang up later.
     
  • Glue seeds into center of the sunflower.
     
  • Glue balled up pieces of yellow tissue paper onto the petals.
     
  • Glue balled up pieces of green tissue paper onto the leaves.
     
  • If you don't have yellow tissue paper, you can make the petals some other colour (just don't call it a sunflower).
     
  • If you don't have green tissue paper, you can just colour in the leaves and stem or print it on green construction paper.
     

Templates: 

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
      
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
