Model Magic Mother’s Day Flowers

I jokingly told this 3rd grader today that she can teach next week’s play dough class. I only showed kids how to simply make and wrap rose petals — she ran with the idea and added colorful centers and beautifully detailed leaves. Thank you Erin for inspiring many students today!
1. Students started with a craft stick from Michaels (new ones that are skinnier than the classic kind) and some red Model Magic. They made a flat small circle that was roughly the size of a quarter, and wrapped it around the end of the stick to kind of look like a bud. They made more flat edged circles and wrapped them around the bud, pressing together only at the base. Repeat 4 or 5 times until the flower looks full.
2. Mix together equal yellow and blue Model Magic to make green. Made oval shapes and press to the bottom of the flower.
