Fresh Floral Design for Kids: Ages 6-9

Please use what interests you!  I list below suggested materials for this class

--a container for your floral foam
 it can be one you already have, or purchased- oval or square.  You can also use a big mug or small ceramic bowl too.  Find you container first, then you will know what type of floral foam to use.

--  Oasis Floral Foam  ** it has to be floral foam NOT styrofoam
( 1/2 dome, full circle, brick...they come in many sizes, find the floral foam that fits into your container-- You might need to shave it or trim it, to make it fit into your container

-- A bouquet of flowers from the store or a selection of 3-5 long stem flowers and a few other type of flowers ( baby's breath, and/or chamomile, or alstroemeria flowers) greens ( ferns, eucalpytus... other types of green leaves with stems/branches) ** You will need MORE greens than flowers 
( " leather leaf fern"  and " lemon leaf " is a great green to use, as well as a combo of green )

-- A tray to work over or an old cookie sheet
-- Protection for your working surface
-- An extra bowl to soak the oasis floral foam already filled with water   

-- A scissors ** parental guidance may be needed- please be ready to help
-- Ribbon or Raffia or Both
-- Any extra accessories  to use are you choice  and option

We will be using scissors to cut down stems- please be ready to help if needed
