Sometimes the prettiest flowers...

... don't come from a florist's shop, or even a garden.

Sometimes they are made of twigs, tissue paper and twist ties (and a whole lot of patience for crafting with an almost 4 year old).

PS. we got the idea from Annika's "High Five" magazine (it's like "Highlights for Children", but for preschoolers).  It's a great magazine for young kids - it's got stories, poems, picture searches, craft ideas, snack ideas, etc.  I really recommend it.
