Creative little ones ages 2-5 joined me today at the OKCMOA to create bright beautiful flowers inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe.First we looked at some examples from the books I brought with me.
We started by cutting one BIG flower and glued it down on white paper.
Cut or tear details like leaves and glue them down. We cut one more smaller flower and place it in the center.
Next crumple small bits of tissue paper and glue to the center of the flower. Add more details with crayons, torn or cut paper to make it special!
Finish by gluing the entire piece on top of a larger piece of construction paper to create a colorful mat.
You will need:
-White paper
-Construction paper (we used Spectra Fadeless art paper)
-Scrap paper
-Tissue paper
-Scissors
-Glue
-Crayons
Here are some of our creations!

These flowers look great. I am going to do them with my Autistic class. I think they would enjoy all of the different elements of tearing, crumbling the paper, and cutting! Your kids did a great job!
perfect - i usually do 1st grade o'keeffe flowers with cray-pas, but i'm out of them for the year, so this helps me a lot - thanks!
