Activity Overview
Create a gorgeous sunflower from that cardboard paper toilet paper tube that would normally be tossed into the recycling bin. Simply use the tube to trace for the center and press the tube down to form it into a flower petal stamper. This craft is great for all age groups and add a cheery disposition to anyone's day.
