Today we had a playdate. We decided to use pool noodles to makes some flower art. I bought the flower shaped pool noodles at the Dollar Tree and cut them into 3 different sizes with a serrated knife (apparently, I can't cut straight).
We used the thickest noodles to do flower painting prints.
I love the brightness of this art.
We used the skinniest noodles along with silk flowers and cut out magazine flowers to make flower collages.
Many of the children sat for a very long time doing this gluing project.
We used the medium noodles, cut pieces of straws, and beads to make necklaces.
Aidman was very proud of his necklace.

Great ideas! I love the necklace.
What a great way to use pool noodles. They are so long that you could do many things with one noodle.
That is so cute! Trisha would love that.
That is an awesome Idea! Love it!
LOVE this! where do you get the flower pool noodles I so want to get some!!!:)
I can't cut straight either so its great to know i'm not the only one.
The Dollar Tree is where I got them.
Great ideas! I would never have thought of using pool noodles for flowers.
Love the pool noodle idea. My daughter will not go in the pool without one and we're looking for a way to lose it. Cutting it up seems like a great option.
Your idea of a pool noodle for the spongy is a great idea. Who'd a thought. Its great when ideas like this come to light. Your flowers are lovely.

I actually cut a noodle up for a flower themed dinner for one of my mom's group. I put a pom-pom in the middle for a colorful center!
A friend used them for a baby shower too!
