Our wet weather provided a good opportunity for this autumn sunflowers craft.
I found it here and there are certainly many other neat ones to try but I just loved this happy one!
Here's how you begin...
Use a sturdy and deep paper plate (not the flimsy or styrofoam kind)
and paint any way you'd like.
All the colors of the rainbow if that makes your heart content!
I made a small petal template out of cardboard
and they traced many petals onto yellow construction paper.
Then they snipped away with scissors.
Add some glue to the edges and attach the yellow petals....
overlapping is up to the artist. I gave no instruction at all
and it was so interesting to see their interpretations.
then just when you are about done...
you can add a few sunflower seeds to embellish your huge sunflower.
Voila...
Aren't they as beautiful as the ones I saw on Daniel Island a few months ago?

We even had a couple of friends over who wanted to join in...
Happy, sunny autumn day!
