About This Project

A 30–60 minutes craft for ages 3–10, using supplies you likely already have — Tape, Staplers, and Pom Poms.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Life-Sized Sunflower Craft

    A photo showing how to complete this step

    Paint the sunflower center.

    First, cut the curved edge off the paper plate, so you have a flat circle. Put the circle on newspaper to keep your table clean. Pinch a medium pompom with a clothespin to make a paintbrush. Squeeze a little brown paint onto the newspaper. Dab the brown paint all over the circle until it is completely brown. Let the paint dry completely.
