poppy artwork

[keeks]

We have made the loveliest poppy potato prints today. I cut a potato in half, made it shaped as the paper poppies you wear (as in cut a little "waist" to make two petals sort of). These were dipped in red paint and printed.

Then cut a small potato for a middle circle, dipped in black and printed in the middle. They came out so nice! Even the youngest children made lovely black and red printed pictures - and when I told parents they were actually poppies they saw it too.

Also, tomorrow we will make scones with poppy seeds.

That sounds lovely & I might pinch the idea for tomorrow.

The only problem is I don't think I've got any potatoes in, though I have got some sponges I could try it with

This sounds great - i am going to do this on Friday too!

I am looking for some nice printable poppies to paint too - anyone have any they can share please? I have seen ones with lots of poppies, but I want a picture of just a big poppy flower!

Sounds good

I did some sponge painting today. Cut a sponge into a poppy shape and then stuck a black circle in the middle of each.

Those idea's are lovely,

We had paper plates with a splodge of red paint in the middle and let the child spread the paint around with their hands, they made lots of lovely patterns, swirls and finger prints. Then they scattered lots of little black dots in the middle (hole punch black card) and shook some clear glitter over the top of it all.

When they were dry I drew a poppy shape around the plate with a marker pen and the children that were able cut the shape out, for the babies I cut the shape.

They look lovely

This picture doesn't show how lovely they actually look for some reason, but you get the idea anyway.

aw lovely x

we made some poppy wreaths today, cut the centre out of a paper plate, printed some poppy templates off and coloured them in, cut them out and glued them round the edge of the plate slightly overlapping, they look really georgeous xxx

They are very similar to the ones we made
But I used a black circle of tissue paper as I had ran out of black paint
