Create your own unique flowers for this vase and printable background to go with it!

you'll need Materials

• Printable Background & Vases: vase
• Paint
• Pencil/ eraser
• Scissors
• Glue
• Cardstock

We always find these items useful too:

Directions

• Print out the background and vase pages. There are two options for you to chose from.
• Cut the background into pieces and paint them in your tray. (You could leave them together, but cutting allows for really sharp lines)
• Cut out and paint your vase if you like.
• Now for the creative part- design different types of flowers for in your vase. One trick that our daughter thought of to make the flowers line up perfectly for your vase is to trace the shape onto your paper and then draw your flowers to fit the top (where the opening would be).
• Paint and cut out your flowers. We used a thin, permanent marker to outline the flowers.
• Glue your background pieces onto a piece of cardstock.
• Glue on your vase and then your flowers.
• Pop your work into a frame and display it! (Or back it with a corresponding colour of paper like we did)

Purpose

• Exploring with different ways to create a simple background.

Safety Notes

• We suggest that you use a tray and a smock to protect your clothing and surfaces.
• Use scissors with care and direct, adult supervision.
