Why Make Floral Bunting for Shavuot?

Shavuot is often celebrated with flowers and greenery to remember the harvest season and the natural world. Creating floral bunting is a fun way for children to:

• Explore creativity
• Practice cutting and decorating skills
• Help decorate for the holiday
• Connect with the seasonal themes of Shavuot

What You’ll Need:

• Coloured or patterned paper
• String or twine
• Scissors
• Glue or tape
• Hole punch (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Cut out triangle shapes. Cut triangles from your paper, about 10–15 cm tall.
2. Decorate each triangle. You can decorate in different ways:
   • Draw flowers
   • Cut out and glue leaves
   • Add layered paper petals for a 3D effect
3. Prepare for hanging. Punch holes at the top corners of each triangle, or fold the top edge over the string and glue it down.
4. Thread the bunting. Slide each triangle onto the string, spacing them evenly.
5. Hang your decoration. Display your bunting across a wall, shelf, or window.
