Zinnia Clothespin Doll, mini book page and a zinnia poem...


Zinnia stands so very straight
Just inside the garden gate;
Sometimes single, sometimes double,
Never gives a bit of trouble.

       Assemble a mini doll sized book: Above, is the Zinnia's illustration and verse. Visitors can collect all the flower illustrations and verse from "Flower Children" to print and construct a small book of verse for their dolls. Simply drag each png. into a Word Document, print, cut out all of the images the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge. Squeeze out some white school glue along the stapled edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover.

The scientific name for Zinnia is Asteraceae. Learn more about these flowers here.

How to Craft a Zinnia Clothespin Dolly

Left, paint the clothespin and stand a green color of your choice. Center, take apart a pick of silk
zinnia and glue these flower petals and leaves to the clothespin doll to make a dress. Right,
the zinnia is finished and her face is painted on.

See the different sides of my zinnia clothespin doll: front, side and back.
