Materials
White construction paper
Purple tempera paint, poured on a damp paper towel in a small tray
Green marker
Directions
I purchased some items at a gift shop last year, and the bag my things were put in had some very simple hyacinths printed on it, which inspired me to try this art project with my 2- and 3-year olds!
Draw a simple, fairly straight stem on the construction paper. You can draw a line across the bottom of the page so it looks like your stem is coming out of the ground. Show your preschooler how to press his pointer finger into the paint and then press it on one side of the stem at a slightly upward angle. Have your child continue pressing purple fingerprints up the length of the stem. Then do the same on the other side of your stem. When dry, you’ll have a charming, child-like hyacinth!
