To create these flowers have the kids dip the back of a fork into paint.
Then tell them to press down on the paper and pull back making a "tulip" shape. 
Have them repeat as many times as they wish. 
Allow the fork prints to dry.
Once dry, have the children pain on stems and leaves.

We made a caterpillar face using construction paper, wiggly eyes, and a couple of green golf tees. We then glued it to 1/2 of an egg carton. We then planted grass by using a couple of spoon fulls of soil, and some grass seed. When watered daily, the grass will grow quickly.
