Flower Crowns

Supplies

• Pre-made craft flowers with holes in the centre.

• Green straws, cut into 2–3 cm pieces (to act as spacers).

• String, wool, or elastic cord (about 60–70 cm per child).

• Scissors.

• Tape (to wrap string ends if needed for easier threading).

Steps

1. Prepare the String

   • Cut string to the right length (enough to go around the head + a little extra for tying).

   • Tie a large knot at one end or tape a bead to stop pieces slipping off.

2. Thread Flowers & Straws

   • Start by threading on a flower, then a straw piece, then another flower.

   • Repeat the pattern until the crown is nearly full.

3. Adjust Fit

   • Once long enough to fit around the child’s head, tie the two ends together securely.

   • Make sure it’s not too tight – should sit comfortably.

4. Wear with Pride

   • Place the finished flower crown on each child’s head.

   • Encourage them to show off their crown with a little Cook Islands dance or photo!
