What you'll need:

Instructions:

  1. Take a photo of each child and print out as a small circle. Then trace out a flower shape on your paper plate and have the children decorate it.
     
  2. Cut out the flower shape and place each child’s photo in the centre of their flower. Tape a straw to the back of the flower and then cut out your leaf shapes and tape these to the straw. You can add whatever you like to the gift tags, or even have children help you write these!
     
  3. To plant your seeds, place soil in some warm water (this part should only be done by an adult unless children are 3 years or over). Watch the soil grow, after 2 minutes place the soil in the eco pot, add your seeds, and have children pop their paper flowers in!
