As it's nearly Spring, here 8 super easy flower crafts to do with your toddler and preschooler. They require very little preparation and you probably have everything you need in your house right now.
1. Painting with left-over flowers
If your Mother's day flowers are dying out, use them to paint.
My daughter loved doing that activity and she really enjoyed swirling around some of the flowers to have that spiral effect.
You could also use the petals to make a lovely collage.
2. super simple flowers craft
With some cupcake cases, pompoms and wooden sticks, make some super simple flowers.
3. Decorate flowers with stickers
If your child is fan of stickers, use them to decorate some flowers.
I cut the flowers and the leaves and my children decorated them with stickers of insects.

LEARN MORE4. Cardboard tubes craft
For this one, we painted the cardboard tubes, then we slotted into each other 2 flowers to stand in the cardboard tube.
5. Glitter based craft
Which child doesn't like a bit of glitter?
Little disclaimer: for environmental issues, i don't use glitter anymore. We did this craft years ago!
I have not yet disposed of my leftover glitter as there is currently no safe way to dispose of that kind of plastic so they are safely stored in my garage.
I don't know why it took me so long to awaken to the fact that glitter is basically microscopic plastic.
Anyway, nowadays, there are some alternatives. Click here for an non plastic glitter made in UK and here a alternative edible option to make yourself!
