Paint Chip Craft - Flowers

There are so many cute craft ideas out there using paint chips.  You know the color swatch in the paint department at your local home improvement store?  Heck, I have even seen them at Walmart!

We had to run into Home Depot the other day and they have paint chips that aren't your typical square or rectangle shape.  They are a fun shape that resembles a flower petal.

So as we were leaving I grabbed a variety of colors and some of the wooden sticks (paint stirs)

 Simple list of supples:

green paint or green marker for the "stem"

glue

paint chips

paint stirs

 They first painted the "stems" green

 Just a little glue was needed to keep the "petals" in place. The paint helped them stick as well.

 How fun are these flowers?

We won't be doing Tot Trays for a couple of weeks.

There are a lot of great activities in these tot packs.  I printed out a bunch to use at a different time.  But, for now we will work on the ones I posted below.
