Spring flowers

Here in Phoenix it's a beautiful first day of spring! 

I decided it would be fun as an introduction to our spring 

theme if we made a garden of colorful flowers.

I set out  assorted colors of paint, small brushes, and small paper plates.

(I taped a stem to the back of each plate).

I also set out pompoms for the kids to glue (tacky glue works best)

 to center of the their flowers.

The flowers came out so cute, full of  bright colors! 

The kids had such fun painting 

 that we ended up with quite a large garden of flowers!
