Flowers for birthday: Fun Foam Flower Straws, kids craft ideas

1. Choose two or three flowers in different sizes for each straw.
2. Punch a hole in the middle of each flower.  If the hole punch doesn't reach the center of the flower, fold the flower in half and slip the center into the hole punch but only half way.  Squeeze to make your hole.  When you open the flower back up, it will have a whole hole.
3. Slide the flower shapes onto the straw so that the smallest at the top of the straw and the largest flowers are at the bottom.

Hint:  If using straws that bend, slide the flowers up from the bottom of the straw and stop just before the bend.
