Sunflower Paper Craft Idea

Are you a fan of sunflowers? So are we! This time we will show you how to make a beautiful sunflower paper craft.

Ready to try? Let’s build it together!We grow sunflowers in our garden every year, they are the most wonderful decoration and a great natural food for birds.

It’s fun to watch all the different birds come and help themselves to a piece of sunflower seed. It’s even more fun to find “bird-planted” sunflowers the following year.

We rarely get the chance to put one of our sunflowers in a vase and honestly, we like them best when they are outside BUT we think these paper sunflowers are just as pretty.

This craft can also be used to decorate a classroom bulletin board – make them and stick a photo of your students in the middle. Fun and cute.
