Directions:
1. Have children make flowers by coloring baking cups with markers and gluing them on construction paper stems and leaves.

MEXICAN TYPE FLOWERS: Colorful, Fun, and Pretty!
Need: Tissue paper in a variety of colors, scissors, and floral wire or colored pipe cleaners.
1. To make the flowers, layer five or six rectangular sheets of the same size tissue paper (the colors can be mixed or not). The smaller the tissue paper sheets, the smaller the flower.
2. Starting at one of the short ends of the paper, fold the paper into one-inch accordion folds - as if making a fan.
3. Next, wrap floral wire or a pipe cleaner tightly around the CENTER of folded tissue paper. Straighten one of the wires for the stem.
4. Gently pull the layers of tissue paper apart, out and up… and fluff them to create a lush burst of colorful flower petals.
