Inspired by Valerie of one of my all time favorite sites, we made our own Build a Flower Activity Set.
I didn't have cute baking cups so we fancified ours with good ole crayons. And trimmed them with the fancy scissors-which I also used to cut out the leaves.
Putting the flowers together is strangely calming, especially adding lots of beads. They are fun to build, and rebuild.
CB has a song for it "build it again, take it apart, build it again, take it apart, add a new leaf, put on a bead-see?, build it again-change it, build it again-change it, build it again-change it".
Please check out some of these fabulous linky parties. Wonderful ideas and inspiration await! Thank you!

Those are so cute! What a great idea.
What a great idea! It looks like a lot more fun to fancy them up yourself - rather than use already decorated ones!
that is so cute! i'm going to borrow some of these ideas for my kids. Thanks for sharing this at my party.
THANK YOU!
I was just finishing my Lesson plans for Spring, and needed one more art project. I knew I wanted to do something with flowers, but they're too young to plant one and watch them grow, and I couldn't think of anything creative/fun. This is perfect for my little kids, they'll love coloring the cupcake holders and building there very own flowers!
I'm now a follower and looking forward to many more fun ideas =]
Cute! I love the story of your son being disappointed about you not making muffins! My daughter would think the same thing!
