| Magic Meadow Tissue Paper Flowers |

| Below are easy instructions. To see a live demonstration of flower construction and other activities order the Magic Meadow Companion Activities DVD. |

| Materials: Scissors Colored tissue paper, cut into 6-inch squares, smaller or larger according to your choice. Pipe Cleaners, wire, or twisty ties for center anchor and stems. Instructions: 1. Stack 6 squares of tissue paper, varying colors between layers. 2. Fold the tissue paper stack accordion style, in about 1 inch folds. 3. Fold the accordion shape ends together, to find the center. Pinch the center tightly and wrap the wire around the center to hold tissue pleats in place. 4. Carefully spread out the folded accordion pleats, lifting and fluffing them. Be careful and go slowly so the tissue paper doesn't tear. ***************************************************************************************************************************** DO THESE AS A FUN FAMILY ACTIVITY, or a PARTY ACTIVITY to go with activities in Kandu and the Magic Meadow. |
