Directions:

Cut out your child’s (or student’s) face.
Assemble the flowers by positioning 4 hearts in a circle, with the pointed edge in the middle. Use the glue stick to apply glue all along the yellow scalloped center and place the center on top of the arranged hearts to glue them all together. Repeat for all 3 flowers.
On one flower, glue the child’s face in the center of the flower.
Attach the stem by taping the green pipe cleaner to the back of the flower petals.
