If you believe paper crafts were only for older children, you’re mistaken! Here’s a fun paper craft you and your preschooler can do today.
What you need
- Coloured square paper
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Glue
How to make it
- Choose a paper that is easy to fold. Square-shaped paper is best for making this flower craft.
- Fold the square in half and mark the one-third point on the top-left edge of the paper with a rule.
- Pull the bottom right corner of the paper up to the one-third mark on the top left.
- Fold the bottom left corner over the right side of the paper.
- Fold the top right corner of the paper over the left border.
- At the bottom, you will have a pointed edge. Cut along the horizontal line formed by the paper’s edge. The end outcome should be a wedge.
- Draw a half-circle from the top left corner of the wedge down to a half-inch above the bottom right border.
- Cut along the line and unfold the fold to create a five-petal flower.
