Hanging Cardboard Sunflower

Cut the pieces below out of cardboard.  It works best if you can find a piece with no writing.  Look at the cardboard.  Inside, between the top and back layers are little tunnels.  Make sure that the inside
tunnels in the cardboard run the direction of the arrows.  Have the kids paint the pieces, and let them dry.  Run a pipe cleaner through the tunnels of the cardboard pieces as shown.  Turn the bottom piece of the pipe cleaner over so that the pieces stay on.  Turn the top piece and bend it to make a hanger.  Have the children decorate it with buttons,
sequins or seeds.
