Easy Flower Arrangements with Kids

Recommended Supplies

These should be used by the Garden Grown Up for safety reasons. Children can handle the flowers and water, though!

Here's a link to the pruning snips that I've had for years! They are excellent quality and easy to use. (affiliate)

Pruning Snips

Cut Flower Food

I use the Floralife brand and have been very pleased with how long my bouquets last. Simply pour a packet into a vase of water! (affiliate)

Assorted Vases

We often repurpose glass jars found in our kitchen.

If we are gifting the bouquets, I typically buy a pack of Mason jars (affiliate).

June 2025: Hydrangeas

For approximately the same cost of a grocery-store premade bouquet, you can buy an entire hydrangea shrub! Plant a reblooming hydrangea in a desired spot and water regularly. The blooms make beautiful cut flowers that can easily last a week in a vase. Children find the large fluffy blooms so whimsical and fun!

Little Doodle (1) couldn't help but reach out and try to grab the pink flowers. The bouquet brought a smile to her face, and continues to brighten the center of our kitchen table.

Endless Summer Hydrangeas are a favorite! (affiliate)
