When Hawaiians plan a family get together, they make a lei for everyone coming to the event. Welcome guests to your classroom and school with bright leis.
1.
Colorful tropical flower leis are used to welcome people to the Hawaiian Islands. They are worn at weddings and always play a part in big family celebrations. Find out more about this colorful tradition and the kinds of flowers used. Why not start a school tradition of giving leis to visitors? This is one way to create gorgeous tropical flowers with paper.
2.
To make 10 flowers, use Crayola® Scissors to cut 20 pieces of paper, each 2 by 4 inches (5 x 10 cm). Fold each piece in half.
3.
Hold the folded side with one hand. Cut a flower shape (scalloped edges) along the open sides. Punch a hole in the middle of the folded edge. Unfold. Decorate the flowers with Crayola Color Wave Markers.
4.
Glue the folded edges of two papers together with Crayola School Glue. Repeat to make the other nine flowers. Air-dry your 3-dimensional blossoms!
5.
Cut 10 oval paper leaves about 2 inches (5 cm) long. Punch a hole in the top of each one. Color the leaves. In Hawaii, these are called ti leaves.
6.
Alternate your flowers and leaves on a long ribbon. Attach ends with tape around your neck. Welcome guests with a friendly "Aloha!" and a beautiful lei. How else can you be sure they enjoy their visit?
