Ideas from paper and popsicle sticks
The flower above, which is made from heart shapes, can also be designed differently, as these instructions for making paper flowers with children show. You can also make the hearts yourself by making templates out of cardboard beforehand. You can use popsicle sticks for the stems of the flowers and then add heart-shaped leaves to them.
You can also paint the popsicle sticks green. The flowers in this variant have a circular shape with a wavy edge. Buttons were glued to it. As you can see, a wide variety of materials can be used to make paper flowers with children. You probably already have many of them in the house, so nothing stands in the way of a spontaneous afternoon of crafting.
