How to do it

  1. 1

    Sponge an orange paint circle in the middle of the card.

  2. 2

    Use a small brush dipped in brown paint to draw a grid pattern inside the circle for the seeds.

  3. 3

    Have the kid dip a finger in yellow paint and dab petals around the orange circle.

  4. 4

    Brush a green stem and leaf below the flower.

Tips & extensions

Vary the sizes and shapes of the petals for a more natural look. Cotton swabs work well for younger kids' details.
