Paper Roses; Not Just Imitations

Some of us remember Marie Osmond and her 1973 hit “Paper Roses.”   But not all paper roses pretend to be real.   The essence of creating is always inspired by nature somewhere at the root.  But creating paper flowers with children is not for the purpose of deception.   The beauty of the paper flower:

-color sense

-material awareness

-studying nature

-thrifty gifts for mom

-arrangement and spatial awareness

-project follow-through
