How to use this list
Count five bendable paper drinking straws and one small paper cup for each child. Paint the cups with washable tempera paint in assorted colors using foam paintbrushes and paper plates. While cups dry, arrange pre-cut cardstock flower petals around yellow cardstock circles. Use washable glue sticks for light paper pieces and washable tacky glue where petals or flowers need a stronger hold. Add green construction paper and self-adhesive dot stickers last.
