This fun poinsettia paper craft activity is a great way for children to work on their fine motor skills this festive season. Once they have created this gorgeous flower, they can use it to decorate the tree, the table or their bedroom by adding a small piece of string to hang it up or connecting lots of flowers together to make a wreath or banner. These flowers could also be attached to bowls or napkin rings to help decorate the table.
