Cork Stamped Flower Craft

While flowers are pretty any time of year, most kids complete flower crafts in the spring. This craft is a fun activity for spring, a flower theme, or as a “F is for flower” letter of the week activity. This fun cork stamped flower craft would also make a perfect craft to give to Mom! The kids also use fine motor skills when stamping the flowers with the paint, which makes this activity both educational and fun! Talk about what colors the kids are using and instruct them on what colors or patterns to use for their flowers for even more educational value.

Cork Stamped Flower Directions

This craft is super-easy, but kids love it. My preschooler was absolutely delighted with this craft and didn’t want to stop making flowers!
I found that putting a bit of paint into the paint cap was the easiest way to prevent paint from getting everywhere. Otherwise, you have to dip the whole cork into the paint bottle, which can get really messy fast. In either case, keep plenty of paper towels or baby wipes on hand during this project to prevent disaster.

  1. The end of the cork is dipped into the paint, then dipped onto the paper to stamp the color onto the paper.
    If you make the yellow centers of the flower first, it is easier for the kids to make the flower shape.

Madreen Karle is a master first grade reading teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience. She taught reading in a special needs and English as a Second Language classroom. After retiring she wrote a reading program to help others learn how to teach reading. She is a trusted educator and author of 5 books to help teach children to read and write. In addition to her books, she is a mentor for 3 websites that give reading teacher tips (Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound ReadingMrs. Karle’s Reading Patch, and Mrs. Karle’s Handwriting Patch). Through her teaching she learned that confidence was the key to learning to read. A child who is not confident at reading does not like to read and struggles to read. Mrs. Karle created “sunshine moments” to help teach children how to grow their confidence and learn to read.
Meeghan Karle Mousaw (Madreen’s daughter) has her Master’s in Special Education. She has 8 years experience teaching children to read online. In addition, she developed a curriculum to teach children handwriting called The Handwriting Patch. With the Handwriting Patch learning is fun because children learn to draw and learn handwriting at the same time. In 2019 The Handwriting Patch curriculum became an amazon best seller the first year it was released, helping thousands of kids learn handwriting with a unique, fun method. She is mom to 6 kids, each with differently learning abilities and struggles.
The Reading Patch was established by the creators of Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading. Together they have been featured on the NBC media outlets and Parents Magazine online. Over the last 8 years in their online platform, Madreen and Meeghan have worked tirelessly with teachers, homeschoolers and parents looking to help children learn to read to become a trusted authority in teaching children to read and advocating early literacy skills. They often partner with other educational experts to deliver the most current information to the Reading Patch community.
