Youth Program: Cute Paper Cactus

Here’s a “plant” that never needs watering! We’ll punch 3 1/3″ circles from plain or patterned paper—you choose—and, after adding pointy paper spines, glue the circles together in wedges. Topped with a cheerful flower, the cactus is adhered to a cardboard base that is pressed into a real terra cotta flowerpot. Just add sand to complete the desert-like look! Grades K-6.
