Mother's Day bouquet craft
This activity is perfect for fine motor practice. Working with artificial flowers engages fingers and hands with small parts, with pincer and grip strength, and directional movements.

Provide a variety of artificial flowers and colorful ribbons kids can choose from to make a pretty gift for Mother's Day, or any day of the year.
As a child-led activity, kids choose and arrange the flowers in the bouquet.
Encourage kids to talk about their creations: the colors and types of flowers they choose; their favorite colors; who will receive their gifts.
Supplies
- colored tape.
Artificial grasses and flowers are available at your local craft or dollar store. Usually they come in bunches that can be separated into individual flowers by cutting the wire stems with pliers or scissors. Small-sized petals work best for this activity.
The flower stems may have leaves attached. The leaves help to support the flowers in the funnel and fill out the bouquet.
A butterfly adds a fun, decorative touch!
Instructions
1. Poke the stems one at a time through the funnel until a bouquet is created. Allow the tips of the stems to protrude from the end of the funnel.
- Kids will want to insert and remove flowers until they achieve the desired effect.
2. Wrap tape around the ends of the stems to attach them securely to the end of the funnel. This step will also form a handle for the child to hold the bouquet.
- If the stems are too long, trim them to make them more manageable.
Set the funnel into a vase to display your bouquet.
Kids will be so proud to present this pretty nosegay to family and friends.
Happy Mother's Day!
