Example of Georgia Okeefe's work white flowers:

Our Georgia Okeeffe inspired white flowers made out of coffee filters and construction paper. Inspired by nature: we picked these beautiful flowers in our yard, and created Georgia inspired flowers of our own by twisting white coffee filters to give them texture, layered them, and trim them to give them depth.

Real or paper? It’s hard to tell which flowers are made out of paper with this lifelike craft!

Note to parents... After reading about flowers, enjoy a walk with your kids out in the backyard or out in nature to search for some flowers. After you pick a few flower varieties bring them back and study the anatomy of a flower diagram, next, dissect the flower placing each part on the anatomy of a flower chart.

Tk-2nd grade: cut and label your flower, then color it if you’d like: LabelingPartsofaFlowerincludingseeds

The art of stippling... use a fine tip sharpie or micron pen to stipple the center of the sunflower, then cut yellow cupcake liners, or construction paper for the sunflower petals and glue a green popsicle stick for the stem.
