Sunflowers Poster Group Activity

Drawing sunflowers is easy; if clients have difficulties, demonstrate or assist them with a few tips. The attached document shows an easy way of drawing sunflowers.

Materials:

• Construction paper for sunflowers and leaves
• Coloured pencils or acrylic paint, in different shades of yellow, orange, red, and other warm colours
• Paint brushes
• Craft Glue
• Containers of water to clean brushes
• Paper towels to dab excess paint
• Large sheet of construction paper to mount the project

Instructions

• Ask a group of clients to draw sunflowers; any size; from very large to small. Clients may need some inspiration; get hold of some pictures of sunflowers from magazines and old calendars (or the internet) and put on display for encouragement.
• Paint sunflowers in different shades of yellow and orange.
• Cut them out.
• Assemble sunflowers on a poster.

Alternatively

• Use sunflower templates provided and ask clients to colour them.
• Assist them to cut them out.
• Clients can then arrange and glue sunflowers and leaves onto construction paper above the ‘vase’ or otherwise create just a poster of the flowers.

We’d love to hear your feedback and see your photos!
