Colorful flower art

Why it helps

Create a flower out of toilet paper rolls, glue, and color to promote cutting skills, visual motor, and bilateral hand use.

Use the scissors to cut 1/2 inch wide lines along the toilet paper roll. Do not cut all the way to the other side. These will become the flower petals.

Paint the cut toilet paper roll.

Put a few glue dots on the tissue paper.

Crumple the tissue paper to a ball. This will be the flower pistil in the center.

Glue the crumpled tissue paper to the painted toilet paper roll.

These activities are for home practice and don't replace the guidance of a licensed therapist.
