How to Make a Celery Rose Painting
STEP ONE: Gather your materials
Before you get started, make sure to gather up all your materials for your flower painting. Please be careful as you prepare the celery with the sharp knife. This should be done by an adult.
STEP TWO: Prepare for painting
Prep the celery rose stamp by using the sharp knife to cut off the end of the celery as shown below.
Then, add the paints to either a paper plate or a paint palette if you have one. It is fun to add a few different shades of paint. We used a mixture of pink, purple, and white paint and mixed them slightly on the plate to create lots of different shades.
STEP THREE: Paint your celery flower
Next is the fun part! Invite your child to paint their celery flowers. Dip the celery into the paint and then stamp it onto some white paper to create a celery rose stamp. Encourage them to have fun filling their paper with roses!
Once they're done stamping, use a paintbrush to paint green stems and leaves. You'll be left with a beautiful flower painting!
