Paint newspaper with yellow liquid watercolors

Start by painting your newspaper with your yellow liquid watercolors.

I definitely recommend liquid watercolors for a project like this since youll be painting a large area.

Plan on about a half sheet to a whole sheet of newspaper sheet for one flower.

Let the newspaper sit for several hours until it is completely dry.

Prepare sunflower pieces

Paint the inside circle of your small paper plate with your brown paint.

Cut out a flower stem and leaves from your cardboard and paint them with your green paint.

This fun space shuttle paper craft is a great summer craft for kids or for school to accompany a solar system unit. The space shuttle wing popping off the page gives this paper craft a fun 3D effect to it. The space shuttle craft would look great up on display on a classroom bulletin board with a blasting off theme.

We added two layers of leaves to make a fuller sunflower.
