Summertime Sunflower Painting Activity
It has been a Summer full of sunshine and the occasional rainstorm. At Mary Linsmeier Schools, they discussed how sunflowers love this kind of weather and can grow very tall. After talking about sunflowers, the children painted their own version of them and the result was gorgeous!

To paint your own sunflowers you will need the following:
*White piece of paper or a blank white canvas
*Blue, green, yellow, brown, and orange paint (Acrylic and Tempera work well)
