Drying Flowers

Drying flowers can be enjoyed by people of most any age.  The flowers are fun to gather, fun to dry, and they add beauty to your home – or your child’s room.

Flowers that work best for drying purposes include rosebuds, Strawflowers, Baby’s Breath, Yarrow, Chinese Lantern and feathery Celosia.  Simply pick flowers as close to the ground as possible.  Next, tie with twine in bunches and hang upside down in a dry area that is free of drafts.

You can use the dried flowers to create a number of beautiful crafts with your child, from potpourri to table displays.

Make a Tin-Can Telephone

You’ll need 2 empty tin cans with one side cut out smooth, and some long string.  

Amazingly enough, this apparatus really works!  Carefully stick a hole in the end of each can.  Attach the string.  Talk into the can, then when your child talks, hold the can to your ear to listen.

See how far the sound travels by increasing the distance between you and your child.  See what happens if you run your ‘telephone’ around a corner.
