I am in love with this adorable Daisy Earth Day Craft! The daisy “petals” are created using cupcake liners. Add some straws, construction paper and the printable templates to recreate this fun Earth Day activity. It’s super easy to recreate when using the free printable template!
Daisy Earth Day Craft with Printable Templates
My daughter and I had so much fun making this Daisy Earth Craft. It’s a perfect Earth Day themed activity, but you can also recreate these anytime you need something fun to entertain the kiddos with! These also make great gifts, so be sure to create extras for teachers, grandparents, or anyone else who would love to hang a beautiful piece of artwork from your kiddo on their fridge.
To recreate this Daisy Craft you will need:
Cardstock
Crayons or Markers
Scissors
Glue
Cupcake Liners
Paper Straws
Using green cardstock, cut out the leaves for your flowers.
Grab the printable template found at the end of this page. After printing out your Earth template, use markers or crayons to color them green and blue. When you are done coloring, cut out your Earth images.
To create the daisy, flatten a cupcake liner and fold it in half. Fold the cupcake liner three more times as shown in the photo.
Cut the top of the folded liners into a round shape to mirror the ones in the photo.
Unfold the cupcake liner to finish the first layer of your flower. You’ll need to do this three times, making three layers for each flower.
After your petals are complete, it’s time to start assembling your flowers! Glue the cupcake liners together and then glue the Earth into the center of each flower. Glue a paper straw onto blue cardstock and the flower onto the paper straw. Finally, glue leaves onto the cardstock, right against the paper straw.
Your Earth Day craft is finished! This is an easy and inexpensive craft that’s perfect for the classroom too.

I plan on making this Friday with my 2nd graders. Great idea.
I made these last year with my students and they all looked so great! We hung them out in the hall for everyone to see. This year, I sent the link to my students via Google Classroom. I can’t wait to see what they do with them as a “distance ed” project. Thank you for all the great ideas!
I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed this fun project last year, Cristina! And I hope your students enjoy it just as much this year as a distance ed project! Have a great week!
