Today it is cold and snowing here in Pangman, Saskatchewan.  I can not wait for Spring to arrive.

If you can not wait for Spring here are some bright colored flowers you can make up with your children.

• Egg Carton Flowers and Toilet Paper Roll Flowers from Ramblings of a Crazy Women. To make these flowers you will need egg carton, play dough, Popsicle sticks, paint, toilet paper rolls, and construction paper.  Click here for supplies and instructions.

• Spring Blossoms from The Tulip Lady.  If you have some paper scraps, foam craft shapes, glue, and popsicle sticks around the house you can make up some of these bright colored blossoms.

• Heart Flowers from FamilyCorner.com. Cut out hearts from red or pink construction paper and glue together to make a flower and glue onto a Popsicle or Craft stick. Click here for supplies and instructions.

• Paper Tulip Garden from Our Big Earth.  Using some bright colored paper cut out some tulips, glue the tulip to a popsicle stick and then put the tulips into an egg carton. Click here for supplies and instructions.

After you have made up some of these bright colored flowers be sure to take some photos for your family scrapbook to treasure forever.
