With families across South Africa in lockdown – and kids are school holidays – now is the perfect time to make this popcorn blossom tree kid craft idea!

What you’ll need

• Popcorn
• White or brightly coloured cardboard
• Pencils, crayons
• Finger paints
• Small paint brush
• Hot glue

How to make it:

• Make a bowl of yummy popcorn and set some aside in a bowl.
• Help your child to draw or outline the basic shape of a tree on a piece of paper. It’s art, so it doesn’t have to be perfect.
• Get your tot to paint the trunk and branches of your tree (finger paints work well with toddlers while older children might prefer a paintbrush).
• Next up, grab a handful of popcorn and get creative! A simple glue stick works well to secure your popcorn to the paper.
• Try to glue the smoother, flatter side of the popcorn to the paper.
• Your blossom popcorn tree will emerge within minutes.
