Coffee Filter Flowers
This one was also in our library book. We hadn't done this one in a while, so we decided it was time to do it again. The cups are just water with food coloring. Taite & I cracked up because Paige squirted about half the bottle of green into her cup!
First, we folded the coffee filters into quarters. Then, the girls dipped each corner into different colored water cups. (See how dark the green is?!)
When the filters are opened, they have kind of a tie-dye look to them.
Taite also experimented with dropping colors on the filters with a medicine dropper. This method had a neat look to it, too.
When they were dry, Taite stacked 3 filters on top of each other, pinched them together in the middle & wrapped a pipe cleaner around that point to create a flower.
