This is called a flower garden, made with foam sheets, tissue paper, decoupage, wooden Popsicle sticks, buttons, and candy. If I forgot anything you'll see it in the pictures.
I covered paper cups with Valentine tissue paper using Mod Podge. I cut squares (doesn't have to be perfect squares) from three tissue paper designs. An older child could help cut out the flowers and paper.
Mod Podge can get really messy and don't brush the tissue paper too much or it will disintegrate!
I glued two Popsicle sticks to the height I wanted for the cups, then I cut out the flower shapes from foam sheets and let my 3 year old granddaughter choose how to put them together. This requires a hot glue gun so it takes an adult to help put them together.
Then stick the flowers in the cup, fill with candy, and you have a flower garden! And fun with the grandkids.
I intend to add more flowers. With a 3 year old attention span, this is more like a week's project! But, this shows a finished cup. My granddaughter had me glue a large button on the top of a wooden stick so I cut the stick to the height of the cup and glued it to the front (cup not shown). You can also add more candy to the cup. This cup looks like some little fingers have been sneaking candy!
