Tulip Wreath with Happy Mother's Day Message

A round wreath of tulips frames the words "Happy Mother's Day!" in outlined block letters at the center. The wreath is made of two kinds of flowers: closed tulip buds seen from the side, and open tulips seen from above, each with a solid black center. Long, pointed leaves and thin stems weave between the blooms all the way around the ring. The lettering is hollow, so kids can color it in or leave it plain. Try coloring the open tulips in one bright shade and the closed buds in another, so the pattern shows as your eye moves around the circle. Pencils work well for the small petals, and the leaves are a good place to practice shading with two greens. It makes a simple handmade card front for Mom or Grandma, and you can print it as many times as you need.
