This is a simple craft for young children. Using some basic materials and inspiration from nature, you can create a beautiful blossom branch to welcome the arrival of Spring.
Age group: 18 months +
What you need:
- Twigs or branch
- tissue paper
- Glue (PVA works well)
What to do:
- Find or provide a twig or stick (even more fun if your child finds a twig themselves) for each child.
- Cut up or tear tissue paper into small pieces (use white/pink or crimsom depending on what colour blossom you want).
- Pour small amount of PVA glue into a bowl.
- Scrunch up each piece of tissue paper and dip in PVA glue – stick tissue paper onto twig to create blossom and allow to dry.
These look great in a vase or just to decorate your Spring table.
