The Second Daffodil of Spring: Craft Time!

No, I’m not going to catalog every flower that blooms in my yard (eight!); I have a craft idea.

You need:

• one sheet bright yellow tissue paper
• one sheet pale yellow tissue paper
• one yellow marker
• one pair of safety scissors
• one green pipe cleaner
• white glue
• one pair of pinking shears (optional)

Step 1:

Trace a child’s hand on the pale yellow paper and cut out.

Step2:

Cut out a rectangle of the bright yellow paper and use the pinking shears to cut one long side of the rectangle.

Step 3:

Wrap the rectangle around your finger and pinch one end closed.

Step 4:

Gently open the pinched end, add a few drops of glue, and insert the pipe cleaner. Pinch paper closed.

Step 5:

Wrap the hand print around the yellow tube, arranging it to look as much like a daffodil as possible before adding glue and pinching closed. For larger hands, you might need to fold the base of the palm up before attempting this. I did so with Tulip’s hand print, but we didn’t need to with Smiley’s.
