Whenever I see sunflowers, they remind me of the sun and the beautiful landscape they form. Not to mention the delicious seeds they create. Did you know that a single sunflower can carry up to 1,000 seeds or more? Read all about how a “Seed turns into a plant” here on National Geographic Kids.

Materials
Directions
Step 1: Create ½-inch strips out of the yellow construction paper about 12. Divide the strips into eight pieces and four pieces. Cut out a 2-inch circle as well and set it aside.
Step 2: Take the eight strips and glue the ends only.
Step 3: Cut in half the four strips and glue the ends.
Step 4: Create a strip out of green construction paper and two leaf shapes.
Step 5: Glue down the yellow circle you cut earlier, followed by the stem and leaves. Glue down the longer folded strips first.
Step 6: Glue down the smaller folded strips on the inner side. Place liquid glue in the center and then place sunflower seeds in the center. Let the glue dry completely.
