Oh, how I love spring bulb flowers! Tulips and hyacinths are my favorites!
While shopping the other day I saw a these beautiful blue-purple paint chips and thought that we could make a paint chip hyacinth!
The kids took turns punching out 1 1/2 inch circles from the paint chips with a circle punch....
....and then cut the paint chips in half.

With some bright green paint chips they cut out a stem and some leaves.
Then they started gluing their cut outs onto a white piece of cardstock.
Here are their simple and beautiful creations!
Happy Spring!
Great idea! Every time we go to the Hardware store to get something I let my kids pick out a paint chip so we have quite the collection. Great craft idea.
ReplyDeleteI love these! What a great idea! We just fingerpainted hyacinths this week, but I wish I had done this instead!

Ah! Just worked it out - paint chips are the colour cards on the paint department - yes? Brilliant idea! I found your great blog via Red Ted Art who thought you might like to link up to the Resource Centre. It is a space for ideas for teachers to share with their children. I do hope you will pop over! http://bit.ly/dLwwDC
