Bright and colourful flower crafts are perfect for this time of year as Spring begins. Kids will love using a salad spinner to create spin art rainbow flowers. This fun painting idea is easy enough for toddlers and preschoolers to enjoy and the flowers all look beautifully unique.
If you are looking for more Spring crafts you may like our flower petal sun catcher, pour painting flower pots, or our nature paintbrushes.
These beautiful spin art flowers were made after reading this weeks virtual book club story ' The Tiny Seed' by Eric Carle. Scroll down to see a list of fun activities to do after reading this story.

Rainbow Spin Art Flowers
Begin by cutting card circles that will fit inside the bottom of the salad spinner. Put one circle into the salad spinner and squirt poster paint on top of it. We used red, yellow, green and blue paint for our flowers.
Secure the lid of the salad spinner and spin it as fast as you can. This bit is really fun and Daisy (aged 2) loved watching it spin around.
When you take the lid of the spinner you will see that the colours have spun across the card. Each piece of spin art will be totally unique.
Remove the spin art from the salad spinner and leave it to dry.
Cut the pieces of spin art into flower shapes and decorate them. Daisy chose the biggest pom poms she could find and a selection of buttons.
Add a green craft stick to each flower as a stem.
Experiment with using different colour paints and try adding different collage material to your flowers. Adding glitter and sequins could be fun!
