Spring in a Jar

Intro

This activity is a lovely way to bring spring indoors, especially for those who struggle to get outdoors and enjoy this joyful season. It’s where we make some simple yet beautiful blossom displays from tissue paper for everyone to admire.

What you need

Different shades of pink and cream tissue paper, roughly cut into 8 inch squares
Glass jars
Large vase
Mix of large and small twigs
Glue

The Activity

Lay all the tissue paper squares on the table
Give a glass jar to each person
Take some twigs and arrange them in the jar
Encourage the group to take the individual pieces of tissue paper and screw them up into ball shapes to make the blossoms
Once you’ve made enough blossoms, start gluing them to the branches to create mini trees in bloom
Once the trees are bursting with blossom, display it where it can be enjoyed by everyone
