The basic flower patterns are easy enough for my three year old to help make. She loves playing with them afterward, they hold up surprisingly well unless your kid is pretty rough.

We made pink flowers from this book with twig stems instead of pipe cleaners for daughter's preschool teachers on Valentine's Day. We used three different colors of pink, light, med, dark, and they turned out gorgeous.

For the older kids and parents there are increasingly complex flowers to make--daffodils, irises, poppies, etc. A great, great indoor activity, and they make perfect handmade gifts for any holiday, just use the holiday color in the flower! They even have funky patterns for boys to make!
