Now it&#8217;s time to put the painted flower craft together. Have your child set up the flower the way that they designed it and then use a hot glue gun to attach all of the petals together.&nbsp; I used a plastic tray below while gluing so that it would come off easily after it cooled down.&nbsp; This is an adult task for safety reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**An alternative could be to use fast-drying air clay or salt dough that your child could stick the dried flower petals into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26036\" src=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DIY-Painted-Flower-Craft-for-Kids-with-Recycled-Plastic-.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Painted Flower Craft for Kids with Recycled Plastic\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DIY-Painted-Flower-Craft-for-Kids-with-Recycled-Plastic-.jpg 650w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DIY-Painted-Flower-Craft-for-Kids-with-Recycled-Plastic--600x415.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DIY-Painted-Flower-Craft-for-Kids-with-Recycled-Plastic--300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> After we attached the flower petals I had my daughter select some beads to stick in the middle for her flower center.&nbsp; I just added more hot glue and then had her tell me where to place them due to the hot glue.&nbsp; If you&#8217;re using air clay or salt dough they could do this portion themselves as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a fun lesson in talking about flower seeds similar to what is featured in The Tiny Seed book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong> At the end you can attach a ribbon so that you can hang your colorful painted flower craft in a window and allow the light to shine through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SHARE how your painted flowers turn out in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/weeklyVBCforkids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Weekly Virtual Book Club for Kids Facebook group<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Garden-Week-VBC-Book-Preschool-Activities.jpg\" alt=\"Garden Week VBC Book Preschool Activities\" class=\"wp-image-26043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Garden-Week-VBC-Book-Preschool-Activities.jpg 650w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Garden-Week-VBC-Book-Preschool-Activities-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Garden-Week-VBC-Book-Preschool-Activities-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Garden-Week-VBC-Book-Preschool-Activities-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Garden-Week-VBC-Book-Preschool-Activities-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Garden-Week-VBC-Book-Preschool-Activities-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Garden-Week-VBC-Book-Preschool-Activities-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Garden Themed Activities for Preschoolers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/jdaniel4smom.com\/2018\/04\/counting-to-ten-algorithm-coding-worksheet-for-preschoolers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Counting to Ten Algorithm Coding Worksheet for Preschoolers<\/a> by JDaniel4&#8217;s Mom<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mamasmiles.com\/science-for-littles-plants-and-sunlight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Plants and Sunlight Science Experiment for Kids<\/a> by Mama Smiles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schooltimesnippets.com\/2018\/04\/flower-patterning-preschool-math-activity.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Flower Math Activity &#8211;
