egg box flowers

Lucy popped by for a quick playdate with Erin and Ari recently.  Usually one would just chuck the kids in the pool and be done with it.  But this day was a bit chilly and Cath had to come up with something pronto...  so here it is: a quick and easy idea for a rainy day.

 

 

The girls needed a little help with cutting out the flower shapes from the egg tray but then got busy painting the petals all sorts of colours.  Cath made little holes at the base with a pair of scissors and  the girls then threaded colourful pipe cleaners to make the stems of the flowers.
