Quick and Easy Sunflower Crafts
Where I live, the sunflowers are hitting their prime… full of seeds and ready for harvest.
What more perfect time to do a few sunflower crafts?
One of my all time favorite sunflower crafts is to simply do a collage. Collect a bunch of sunflower seeds and let the kids glue them onto construction paper in any design they choose. The reason I like this craft so much is because just about any age child can enjoy doing it… even really big kids like me!
Here are a few more sunflower crafts you might enjoy…
Paper Plate Sunflower
Paint the back side of a paper plate yellow and let dry. Tear small strips of yellow paper and glue around the outside of the plate to make petals. Glue sunflower seeds to the center of the plate. You can also make a stem out of green construction paper.
I think these are really neat… mostly because I just never looked at a toilet paper tube that way before! Little ones might have a little trouble with it, but they should be able to make these with a little help.
We haven’t actually done this sunflower craft, but it looks fun and has a lot of good reviews!
Sunflower Seed Estimation
Although this isn’t a craft, it’s something that’s always great fun to do with the kids… especially younger ones.
Sit down with your child (or children) and show them a great big sunflower head with the seeds still attached. My kids were absolutely amazed to watch the heads grow and develop all those seeds. Have them guess how many seeds are on the sunflower head, then have them remove all the seeds and count them. It’s great fun and an activity that they will remember!
