We made coffee filter flowers for Mothers Day! They came out great and it was a lot of different skills used and lots of fun!! Take coffee filters and let them color whatever they want on it wither markers. Then we used an eye dropper to practice small motor skills and he dropped water on them and watched the colors run. We used this opportunity to talk about absorbtion. While there drying Ely put on a couple beads on to the pipecleaner (another great small motor skill) We talked about patterns and he tried to make different patterns out of the beads he put on. Then I just twisted the part with the beads to make a leaf shape and then attached the coffee filter by twisting it around a pinch in the center. Voila! beautiful forever flowers!!
