This snake and flower button craft allows your child to not only explore colors, but practice fine motor skills as well.

Supplies:

– colorful felt  – pipe cleaner – 2 large, buttons – sewing scissors – 7 corks – rubber band – white paint – paint brush

Step 1:

You’ll then secure 7 wine corks together with a rubber band to make an easy and instant flower template.

Step 2:

Recoat your corks and press as many flowers on to as many colors of felt as you’d like. We made 15!

Step 3:

Cut out your flowers with a sharp pair of fabric scissors.

Step 4:

Next fold each flower in half and make a small snip across the center of the flower, making sure it’s wide enough for your buttons to pass through.

The stem will be the part of the button snake that your child slips the felt flowers on to. By adding a button to each end of the pipe cleaner, you prevent the felt flowers from falling off when your child is playing with it.

Step 5:

Poke the pipe cleaner up through a hole in the button, and back down through a second hole.

Step 6:

Twist the loose end around the main part of the pipe cleaner a couple of times, and squeeze it tightly in place. Repeat at the other end of the pipe cleaner, and you’re done!
