It is never too early to help kids develop an appreciation for art.  Introducing famous artists for kids early helps kids no develop a prejudice about the way art should look like, but rather enjoy the unique style the artist composed. Plus their are so many styles, children will feel good about their unique creations without feeling bad they don’t look good enough. This van gogh sunflowers art project is one of my favorite. I love the cheery sunflowers in various shades of bright yellow and orange! This time we are going to re-create this masterpiece with simple construction paper, scissors, and glue for a stunning introduction to VIncent Van Gogh and his Sunflowers!

Start by folding yellow or orange paper in half and cutting it into strips. The size of the paper doesn’t really matter, just know each folded strip is a petal in your sunflower project.

Cut circles or half circles out of brown or black construction paper to be the center of the flower.
