lotus flowers

Martha has a how-to for creating crepe paper lotus flowers.  Less expensive tissue would work also, although the crepe paper would be sturdier with pretty texture.

Some suggestions for working with younger crafters:
1. "fringe" scissors aren't necessary.  Kids can cut fringe with plain scissors for a quick lesson in perseverence :-) .Fringe scissors?
2. Either pre-cut the petals, or create a template for the girls to trace, then cut.

handprint sunflowers

Meet the Dubiens shares a darling handprint sunflower craft.  I'd recommend sending these home on cardboard or a cookie sheet to avoid losing gluey beads during transport.

Divine Mercy Extravaganza

Lacy at Catholic Icing is such a blessing to our community.  She has a treasure trove of Divine Mercy links as well as original crafts. This paper statue is her own printable.  Easy, adorable, and inexpensive!

paper corsages

Probably more of an inspiration, or mommy craft... these pretty corsages from Oh happy day require a glue gun and some patience.

Seed starters

Made creates these fun seed starters.  Definitely an industrious project!

bird seed hearts

Intimate Weddings has a tutorial on making these sweet birdseed hearts.  Let the girls create these in a container like a shoebox for easy transport (they'll need to dry a few hours before adding a hanger).
