Van Gogh Sunflower Craft
If you’re learning about artists, your lesson wouldn’t be complete without some of Van Gogh’s work. The sunflower picture is a classic picture that most people have seen. You can recreate it at home with a craft activity that preschoolers and young children will love.
Print out several of each of the included templates. Colour the sunflowers in a variety of different shades of yellow and cut them out.
Print out, colour and cut out one of our free printable vase outlines. Stick the vase on a large piece of paper, next add your sunflowers peeping out of the top of the vase. Ensure that any stems are placed behind the vase.
Dreamcatchers
Print out several of the outlines showing sunflower heads. Colour them brown and yellow. Or any colour your little ones like. Attach cotton to one side of the sunflower and attach the other to a coathanger. Tada, you have a pretty mobile.
Mothers Day Sunflower Card
Mums love flowers and these sunflower outlines are great to stick on a blank card. If you want simplicity just colour the sunflowers in, but if you have a little more time why not add small pieces of yellow wool, mosaic squares, yellow and brown tissue paper, foil, shiny paper, buttons or sequins to make a really pretty sunflower card.

If you’re learning about sunflowers, here’s an interesting fact I just discovered.
The sunflower head is actually made up of thousands of teeny flowers. The yellow petals and fuzzy brown centres are actually individual flowers themselves and there can be up to 2,000 little flowers making up the sunflower bloom (that’s the fancy name for the head).
