Springtime is the perfect time to talk about flowers. After learning about pussy willows and seeing some real ones (if possible), children can create their own pussy willows. Children glue a cotton ball to the center of a piece of paper. They then glue q tips all around the cotton ball and add a green ribbon for a stem. When finished, they have a pretty spring craft.

What you'll need:

  • Blue construction paper
  • Glue
  • Q Tips
  • Green ribbon
  • Cotton ball
  • Scissors
How to make your q-tip pussy willow craft:
  • Glue q tips in a circle form as shown. Be sure to leave empty space at the bottom for a stem.
  • Cut a piece of the green ribbon and glue it under the flower to create a stem.
  • Glue the cotton ball in the center of the q tips.
  • Cut two leaves from the green ribbon and glue to the stem.
