We had a hard time picking between the three book. It was hard. We love all the book by Eric Carle. Since we are just starting the explore flower and outside this year I thought it would be fun to do a flower activity.<\/p>\n

\"Two
\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We read the book The Tiny Seed (The World of Eric Carle)<\/a>\"\". I love the progress of the book and watching the seed as it moves and changes.<\/p>\n

We had a hard time picking just one craft to do. We really do enjoy doing flower crafts at our house. There is a fun flower we made from different types of craft and the second is a fun way to make a dot marker flower.<\/p>\n

Dot Marker Flower Stained Glass Window<\/h2>\n
\"Two
\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

This is a really simple and easy craft! It does not take much time at all and looks wonderful in windows!<\/p>\n

What you need for this activity: dot marker<\/a>\"\", baby oil, and the flowers from the Spring Dot Marker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The first step is to cover the dot marker page with baby oil. You can see full instructions for this here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then pick out your colors and dot away. The picture afterwards looks great in the windows!<\/p>\n

Multiple Texture Flower<\/h2>\n
\"Two
\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

This project was so much fun! We really loved doing it. It has some fun textures to play with that are all different in their own ways.<\/p>\n

What you need for this activity: red feathers<\/a>\"\", styrofoam ball 3″ cut in half<\/a>\"\", yellow model magic<\/a>\"\", and greeen pipe cleaners<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

First she applied the yellow model magic<\/a>\"\" over the styrofoam ball<\/a>\"\". This was great fine motor work for her fingers.<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Second she poked in the feathers to the yellow center. This was fun to see how the feathers soon made it look more like a flower.<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The last part she made the stem and leaves and attached them to the flower.<\/p>\n
