Who this list is for
This paper flower symmetry garden craft is for 7-year-olds learning to spot matching halves through a classroom garden poster. Folded flowers and mirrored petal patterns make the symmetry idea visible.
How to use this list
Use the large light blue poster board as the garden background. Cut stems and leaves from green construction paper, then use the flower petal folding templates on colored construction paper. Fold, cut, and open each flower to reveal matching sides. Glue yellow cardstock circles at the centers, then add details with washable markers or colored pencils and finish the garden with butterfly stickers.
Common mistakes
Do not skip the fold before cutting the petal shapes, since the folded paper creates the matching halves. Keep the flower centers lined up over the fold line. Use the ruler and pencil for light planning marks, then cover or erase marks that distract from the garden poster.
