PAPER CUP FLOWERS

There are just so many times that I have caught myself playing with paper glasses and ripping them from the sides to make some design. It then struck me that one could actually do something creative with it too and just ripping it is not the only de stresser.

Material needed:

Crayons/Sketch Pens/Water/Fevicryl Colours
Paper Cup
Fevicol
Glitter/Beans/Sand/Confetti
Candy/Craft sticks

Method:

Take a paper cup and ask your child to colour it with crayons/felt pens/ paints whatever he pleases and let it dry if needed.
