save
Total Time afternoon or evening
Ages all-ages
While it may be a while before your real flower garden blooms into a rainbow of spring colors, you can round up a bouquet of these bright-hued wooden perennials to liven up a countertop or coffee table in no time.
What you'll need
- Long-handled wooden spoons
- Acrylic or tempera paint
- Paintbrush
- Mug
- Assorted flat wooden craft shapes (sold by the bagful at most craft stores)
- Wood glue
- Wooden beads (colored or plain)
How to make it
Have your kids paint the wooden spoon handles green and stand them stem-end up in a mug to dry.
For petals, glue flat wooden craft shapes to the bowl of each spoon, as pictured (this step works best if you lay the spoons on a flat surface).
Once the glue is completely dry (see manufacturer's directions), your kids can paint the flowers (both front and back) and stand them in a mug to dry.
Lastly, glue a cluster of wooden beads in the center of each flower.
