Learn to Draw a Rose

Perhaps your children will make a red rose for Valentine's Day? Alternatively, choose any colour they like to add a rose to the stem; roses come in such beautifully different colours and patterns.

Lace around this lovely red rose for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or summer, perhaps. Cut out and laminate, then punch holes around the edge. Older children could use a blunt needle to punch smaller holes along the inside black lines and stitch along them with running stitch.

Here's our simple rose illustration in poster format. Print it out for display or perhaps as an extra large card, or the front cover of a project. Did you know that it used to be traditional to wear a red rose on your lapel or in your buttonhole for St George's Day?
