Directions
Have fun creating a whole garden of good deeds!
- Brainstorm ways kids can help around the home. Ideas might include folding laundry, washing the dishes, walking the dog, or helping to prepare meals.
- Choose one large and one small circle accent for each chore flower and follow these steps for each.
- Write a chore in the center of a small circle and glue or tape to the middle of a large circle of a different color. Choose a variety of color combinations.
- Trim the outside edges of each large circle accent to shape like flower petals. Tape a chenille stem to the back of each flower for the stem. Twist two together if you need longer stems.
- Choose a bucket accent and a Terrific Labels™ design. Use a marker to write “Pick a flower and I will do the job for you!” or a similar message on the label. Remember to sign the label, and then stick it to the center of the bucket.
- Gently push the die-cut edge at the top of the bucket inward to “open” it. Slide the stems of your flowers through so they appear to be inside the bucket.
- Cut leaf shapes from Peapod Terrific Trimmers® and tape to the stems to complete your flowers.
- Tape the ends of the chenille stems to the back of the bucket to hold your bouquet in place.
This is a fun craft for students to make in schools or care centers, or make this at home with siblings for a fun family activity. Mom and Grandma will enjoy taking their “pick” of chores and displaying this joyful bouquet.
