Why Kids Love This Craft
This craft has everything kids love — bright colors, lots of cutting, and a finished product that genuinely looks impressive.

How to Make a Paper Watering Can Flower Bouquet
Step 1 — Print the template. Print all the template pages including the watering can, flowers, leaves, and label rectangle.
Step 2 — Cut out the watering can. Carefully cut out the watering can shape from the template or from colored paper.
Step 3 — Color the flowers and leaves. Use markers, crayons, or colored pencils to color all the flower and leaf pieces in your favorite bright spring colors. Go bold — the more color the better!
Step 4 — Cut out the flowers and leaves. Once colored, carefully cut out all the flower and leaf pieces.
Step 5 — Glue the rectangle to the back of the watering can. Attach the background rectangle piece to the back of the watering can so it extends above the top, giving the flowers somewhere to sit.
Step 6 — Glue the flowers and leaves to the rectangle. Arrange the leaves first, then layer the flowers on top in a full, lush bouquet arrangement. Glue everything in place.
Step 7 — Add the Happy Spring label. Glue the "Happy Spring" label rectangle to the front of the watering can. Add your own message or write "Happy Spring" in your best handwriting.

Tips for Making It Even Better
- Use multiple colors on each flower petal for a more vibrant, artistic look — kids love mixing orange and red or blue and purple on the same flower.
- Layer the flowers at slightly different heights so the bouquet looks full and dimensional rather than flat.
- Print the watering can onto gray or blue colored paper to match the photo and skip the coloring step on that piece entirely.
- This makes a gorgeous bulletin board display — imagine a whole classroom of these lining the walls for spring!
