How to Make Your Button Flowers:
These button flowers are really easy both to make as as a quick craft to set up for your children.
Start by cutting a flower shape out of card, card is much better than paper for this craft because it’s able to hold the weight of the glue and buttons a bit better, you don’t want your flower falling apart! Don’t fancy drawing the flower shape yourself? No problem, just grab our free flower template to use with this craft.
If you’d like to add a centre to your flower do so now so using a different coloured card. It’s best to add this before you add the buttons so that you don’t run out of room.
Spread some glue onto the petals of the flower and you can now add your buttons, PVA glue (school glue) works best for this as the heavy weight of the buttons means you’ll need something stronger than a glue stick.

Hydrangea Craft for Kids
Last week my son was asking me about what flowers I love. “Tulips, Daffodils..” I told him “but I really like hydrangeas too.” Being five and me having somehow missed this vital bit of parenting he didn’t have a clue what a hydrangea was so I tried to explain them to him, the balls of tiny flowers all packed together in gorgeous pastel colours and then I thought, hey, rather than just explaining and showing a picture, why not try and make some too with this fun hydrangea craft for kids? We love sharing crafts for toddlers as well as older kids so you’ll see how easy this was to create with my two year old too!

We made these sweet puffy paint flowers and they smell like flowers too, how cool is that! Even better is that pretty much everything you’ll need to make these is probably in your cupboards already.
