  1. Color the Filters Lay out the coffee filters and encourage your kids to paint them with their favorite watercolors. Mix colors, create gradients, or try different patterns.

  2. Dry the Coffee Filters Once your children have finished painting, spread the filters out to dry. Placing them under a fan or in a well-ventilated area will help speed up the drying process.

  3. Cut and Shape When the filters are dry, fold them into quarters and snip the edges to design your petals.

  4. Assemble the Flowers Stack a few painted and cut filters together, pinch at the base to form a flower, and twist a pipe cleaner around to create a stem.
