Stuffed Poppies

A fantastic little craft for Remembrance Day!

You will need:

~ 2 sheets of paper (any size as long as you cut the poppies the same size)

~ Red and black paint

~ Scissors

~ Newspaper or shredded paper

~ Stapler

~ Ribbon (optional)

Method:

1) Paint the sheets of paper red and add a black circle into the middle of both

2) Allow paint to dry. Once dry, put the sheets back to back and cut out a poppy shape

3) Staple the poppies together, leaving a gap so it can be stuffed

4) Stuff the poppies by pushing scrunched up newspaper or shredded paper through the unstapled gap

5) Staple the gap together

6) OPTIONAL: Create a loop with some ribbon and staple to the poppy. This can be used to hang the poppy.

This craft is suitable for 3 years + with adult help and supervision

You don't need to paint the poppy, it can be coloured, glittered or decorated however the child wants to decorate it. You don't have to stick to a traditional red and black poppy!

Create lots of smaller poppies and arrange in a circle to create a poppy wreath.
