Happy Spring! Toddler Activity #3 Coffee Filter Flowers


This is a super simple activity. You need 3 things in the way of supplies!

Coffee filters
markers
spray bottle full of water

You'll want to lay a box or a plastic sheet under the project area. Simply color in the center of the coffee filter with one color. Then let toddlers go to town coloring the outside with different vibrant colors. Spray with a water bottle and watch the magic! It's like instant tie dye!

You then let them dry. Once they are dry stack a few, gather them in the center and use a green pipe cleaner as a stem... or simply twist tightly as we did! These look darling gathered in a vase or pitcher and will last forever! Perfect for a Mother's Day or May Day gift.

A big thanks to Auntie L who gave us this idea!
