How to put together this Cupcake Liner Flower Craft: 

It’s very easy and you can let your little one take the lead! 

• I set out different pieces of tissue paper, buttons, cupcake liners and pre cut construction paper leaves and stems on a tray. 

• My LO’s were to grab the pieces and create a cute flower using their imagination. 

• They started with gluing the leaves onto the stems. 

• Then, they grabbed a cupcake liner to create the flower! 

• They also used tissue paper as the flower. 

• Then, they used buttons to decorate their flowers. 

• If you are not comfortable with buttons, you can use pom poms to decorate your flower craft 🙂 

Cupcake Liner Flower Preschool Activity 

Preschoolers can practice counting when adding their buttons to their flowers. 

They can also talk about the different colors each of the buttons are as they add them to their flowers. 

Is your preschooler practicing how to spell their name? 

How about writing out their name on the stem? 

Preschoolers will also learn about the parts of a flower: 

• The stem

• The leaf

• The flower

And, if Mother’s Day is around, this beautiful keepsake can be made for mom, grandma, a caretaker, an aunt… 

Some of the benefits of this cupcake liner flower craft are: 

• Hand/ Eye coordination

• Fine Motor Skills

• Sensory Play by the tissue paper and cupcake liners 

• Pattern Match with the buttons

Cupcake Liner Flower Kindergarten Activity 

Kindergarteners can enjoy all preschoolers enjoy and more! 

Practice pattern match by adding a different button every other button upward on the stem. 

You can also create two different flowers and add for example, 2 buttons on one stem and 4 buttons on the other flower stem. 

Count them and add them for a fun craft learning activity!
