Super easy flower craft for spring days at the park!

Materials:
- cardboard
- scissors
- pen
- marker

1. Cut cardboard into a small square/rectangle (prep before for younger kids)

2. Draw/color in a fun flower vase on the cardboard

3. Use the pen to poke holes above the vase (be careful with littles- they can get excited and poke themselves!)

4. Go on a flower hunt! keep a little bit of stem to thread through the holes and voila! A beautiful vase full of flowers🌸
