Students can learn how to make poppies using egg cartons and paint.

By: Andrea Mulder-Slater

What You Need:

• an egg carton
• scissors
• red paint
• a paintbrush
• buttons (or construction paper)
• glue

What You Do:

First, cut a cup from the egg carton.

Then, cut it so it is rounded.

Next, cut little points to make four distinct “petals”.

Round the petals off.

Paint the poppies red.

Embellish with black and yellow buttons (or construction paper) centers.
