Bouquet of flowers for mom: bright crafts from colored paper

Mom's holiday is a special occasion to please her with a touching gift made with your own hands. In this article we offer to create a beautiful paper bouquet, which will become not only a decoration, but also a symbol of children's love.

🎨 Materials for work

For the craft you will need:
✔ Colored paper (preferably double-sided) - green for stems and leaves, bright colors for flowers
✔ Scissors (safe for children)
✔ Glue stick or PVA
✔ Wooden skewers (for stems)
✔ Decorative elements - sequins, beads, ribbons
✔ Bouquet base - a small pot or cardboard tube can be used

🌷 Step-by-step instructions

1. Making flowers

Option 1: Simple daisies

1. Cut out circles (5-6 cm in diameter) from white paper.
2. From yellow paper - small circles for the centers.
3. Cut fringe around the edges of the white circles, and twist the petals slightly with a pencil.
4. Glue the center.

Option 2: Dimensional roses

1. Cut the colored paper into strips 2-3 cm wide.
2. Fold the strip into an accordion, glue the ends into a ring.
3. Gently spread the layers to create a lush rose.

2. Creating stems and leaves

1. Wrap the skewers with green paper or color them with a felt-tip pen.
2. Cut out the leaves (elongated shape with a pointed tip).
3. Make small incisions around the edges of the leaves for realism.

3. Assembling the bouquet

1. Glue the flowers to the stems.
2. Add the leaves by placing them at different heights.
3. Tie the composition with ribbon or place in a "vase" made of cardboard.

🎀 Decoration and decoration

Decorate the craft:

• Glitter on the petals
• Beads in the center of the flowers
• Feathers for tenderness
• A greeting card inscription

💡 Tips for educators and parents

• For kids 3-4 years old, prepare pre-cut pieces.
• For children ages 5-6, invite them to experiment with flower shapes.
• Use corrugated paper for more realistic textures.

📚 Ideas for inspiration

1. Heart bouquet - flowers glued on a heart-shaped cardboard base.
2. Flowers in the palm of your hand - trace the child's hand on paper, cut out and attach to the stems.
3. Seasonal bouquets - autumn with yellow leaves, winter with "snow" flowers.

🌟 Conclusion

A paper bouquet is:
✅ Ease of manufacture (suitable for all ages)
✅ Development of fine motor skills and creative thinking
✅ Emotional value (a gift that keeps hands warm)

Flowers made with love will never wilt!
