Step-by-Step Instructions:

1️⃣ Print the Template – Start by printing the tulip craft template. If kids want a sturdier craft, print on cardstock paper instead of regular paper.

2️⃣ Color the Tulip – Let kids use their creativity to color the tulip petals, stem, and leaves however they like! Traditional tulip colors are red, yellow, pink, and purple, but they can get creative with their favorite colors.

3️⃣ Cut Out the Pieces – Carefully cut along the outlines of the tulip petals, leaves, and stem. Younger kids might need help with this step.

4️⃣ Fold and Glue for a 3D Look –

Fold the tulip petal pieces slightly in half to create a curved effect.
Glue the petal layers together, overlapping them slightly for a realistic tulip shape.
Attach the stem and leaves at the base.

Fun Facts About Tulips 🌷

💡 Did you know…?

🌷 Tulips were once more valuable than gold! In the 1600s, during the Tulip Mania in the Netherlands, some tulip bulbs were so expensive that people traded them for houses!

🌷 Tulips only bloom for a short time. Most tulips flower for just 1-2 weeks in the spring, making them a true symbol of the season.

🌷 There are over 3,000 types of tulips! They come in almost every color—except blue!

🌷 Tulips are phototropic. That means they follow the sunlight throughout the day, just like sunflowers!

🌷 Tulips can grow in water. Some people grow tulip bulbs in glass vases with water instead of planting them in soil.
