Coffee Filter Sunflower

Craft time!

What you need:

- 3 basket coffee filters (white)
- markers, crayons
- glue
- scissors
- pencil
- pipe cleaners
- green construction paper
- tape

What you do:

• Take coffee filters, fold in half and then again in half - it will look like a triangle
• Draw with pencil or cut without it out petals (four peaks)
• Unfold the filters and separate them
• Color it in the shades of yellow and brown (whatever suits your fancy - throw in some orange)
• Cut out a circle for the center and color it brown
• Glue the filters on top of one another but don't match the petals - will look more sunflower-y
• Cut some of the scraps into smaller pieces and glue in the center of your flower
• Now glue your flower center on top of the scraps to make it look 3D
• Glue your pipe cleaner on he back (I used tape, glue didn't work well)
• Cut out some green leaves from the construction paper and glue them to the pipe cleaner.

You are done! :)

And yes, I know that it doesn't look too good in the picture. But my two-year-old and I did it together and I am fairly satisfied with the outcome. And it was fun :)
