Children will learn the parts of a flower and hone their fine motor skills while making this beautiful suncatcher craft with common flowers from the garden. Your children (and everyone else) will love seeing their suncatchers hanging in the window, on the wall, or from the ceiling. NOTE: This would also make a great Mother's Day gift.
