An Activity for School-Age:

Create colorful bouquets that won't wither or fade!

Before You Begin:

 To create these lovely bouquets, you'll need the following materials: Texas snowflakes, pipe cleaners, Liquid Watercolor™, sprayers and droppers.

Activity Goals:

Create a unique, long-lasting bouquet for Mother's Day.

Furthermore:

For a multi-day project, children can decorate their own pots or vases on one day, and then create the flowers on the second day.

Steps:

1. Apply Liquid Watercolor™ to Texas snowflakes using droppers or sprayers and watch as
   the color spreads.
2. Mix several colors to create a completely unique, one-of-a kind flower.
3. Allow the Texas snowflake to dry completely
4. Once dry, gather the circle in the center of each Texas snowflake and use a pipe cleaner to
   hold the flower together, leaving a stem
5. You may put the flowers in a vase or flowerpot, or use another pipe cleaner to wrap
   around all the stems, holding the entire bouquet together
