I wanted to make some cardstock poppies with the kids to use when recording these memories and the stories of the ANZACS in our family.
Roughly trace the bottom of a glue bottle to get 5 circles that I then roughly cut the circles out just inside the lines.
Draw a yellow circle and colour it in in the centre.
Draw a scribbly circle over the yellow and then do lots of dots around it. You can do this at any stage before shaping.
As I was out of red and lilac cardstock I decided to used some inks to colour some of the circles.
I just dabbed the ink pad on my craft sheet and added water.
Some I coloured with a brush and some I just dabbed the cardstock directly into the colour.
If you make them with coloured cardstock it will affect the hint of yellow in the centre so just do a black centre.

These poppies are a great activity for children to create for ANZAC Day.
I love how they turned out and will add them to my stash I am collecting to record the ANZACS in our family. There is no photo of Grandma's brother so hopefully I can get my cousin who has his Medal to take a photo of it and I will scrap that.
