Coffee Filter Flower Preschool Activity
What fun it is to celebrate Springtime with a coffee filter flower preschool activity. The colors mixed together shining through a window is a perfect presentation. This activity is perfect for any age as it only requires a couple of items to complete. Read on to see how these pretty, colorful flowers are created.
A Fun Preschool Activity
Children of all ages have fun mixing colors, using their imagination, and creating art. This coffee filter flower activity is no exception. The coffee filter soaks in the food coloring and moves the color throughout the “flower” causing a chain reaction of mixed colors. Watching the colors move is a perfect learning opportunity to talk about how the coffee filter takes on the different colors and merges together to create a pretty and unique creation. Once the flower dries and is placed on a window, you can talk about how the light makes the flower vibrant. After making one coffee filter flower, guaranteed your child will ask to make more. Keep reading to learn how to make these with your child. You can also visit our Pinterest boards for more fun activities like this.
