Materials (per child):
- 4 circles in assorted colors (either use a die-cut or trace the top of a medium-sized cup)
- 9" x 12" sheet of construction paper
- Scissors
- Crayons
Each child needs a 9" x 12" sheet of construction paper as well. I used light blue for ours, but you can choose an entirely different color or let students choose their own.
Now, it's time to make flowers! There are two types of flowers to make: tulips and carnations. Walk students through these steps! For their vase, students will need three flowers. I required my students to make one of each, and third was their choice. I think two tulips and one carnation looks best though!

After students have their flowers, they will go back and write the fraction part on each part of the flower. (example: each piece of the carnation would say 1/2)
Now that the flowers are glued down, it's time to decorate the piece of construction paper! I showed my students how to draw a vase at the bottom of their paper. You'll have to help them determine the size it needs to be. Then, draw stems and leaves to connect the flowers to the vase. Finally, let kids decorate their page!
These would make a great bulletin board or display in the hallway. They might even make an exciting class book! Enjoy!
