These Q-tip daisies are an adorable craft and are great for fine motor skills.
Cotton swabs are not just for your ears. We use them in art projects often. They are great to paint with. They are fun to craft with as well. We used bare Q-tips to make these simple daisies for the spring, but you could also dip the Q-tips in paint and create other colorful flower creations.
I love the idea of using different objects to create art and that seems to really excite children. I know that pretty much every household has some Q-Tips lying around and hopefully the other supplies in a art and craft cupboard. It is always a good idea to turn off the electronics and allow children to explore their creative side.
Here are the steps:
Start by cutting a handful of cotton swabs in half.
Roll a chunk of yellow play dough into a ball with your hands.
Once the balls have been formed, flatten them slightly between your palms.
Press the swab halves into the play dough around the outside to form the petals.
When finished, poke a green pipe cleaner into the side of the play dough to form a stem.
The glue it all down on a piece of paper.
