How to create Hammering Flowers Art
Step 1: Collect your petals.
This art activity all started by exploring the garden. My kids loved being allowed to pick their own flowers (something I usually do not encourage) and putting them in a bowl.
I made sure that we had a variety of colors because I wanted to see what they looked like when they got smashed onto the page. If it was up to my kids, we’d only have purple daisies to create art with.

2: Place the petals onto the paper and hammer away.
I have to admit that it took a lot of hammering to get the colors onto the paper. I think that next time I’ll try watercolor paper and see if having a type of paper that is more absorptive makes a difference.
What I loved discovering was how the petals became a different color when smashed onto the paper. For example, the purple petals ended up looking more blue than purple.
