This Straw Flower Painting is the perfect paint activity for kids! Fun and simple, with minimal supplies needed! An excellent way to create art!
When it comes to simple art to display and hang, make room on your fridge. This super cute project is one that kids of all ages will love! The best part is that they can change up the colors of the paint and make even more fun flowers as well.
We like to do this activity during the spring and summer months, but I will say that it’s a nice burst of color for the cold and winter months as well!
The next time that you want to show the kids that it’s fun to use items around the house to create art, this is a great DIY flower painting project to do!

How long does it take for the paint to dry?
That all depends on how thick the paint is that you push down on the paper. If the kids don’t use a ton of paint to make their flowers, it’s not going to take very long to dry at all.
If they use a lot, it’ll take a bit of time. I would say that about 30 minutes or so should be a good amount of drying time to hang up the picture without the paint dripping or running.
What are some variations of this flower art for kids?
You could quadrant the tree and make a 4 season tree with all the colors of fall, winter, spring and summer!

What else can be added to this flower painting picture?
Since the kids will be drawing the vines and stem and then putting on the flowers, there is going to be more than enough room in the picture to add other things.
Have them be artistic and draw a cat or a dog, or even add some birds in the sky. I always tell the kids that anywhere that there is a white space on the paper is the perfect place to draw something else!
Let them showcase their creativity by creating a truly unique work of art. While the flowers might be the star of the show, there are so many other fun items that can easily be added in!
