Step 4
Lightly draw a circle or oval at the top of the stem to mark the flower head.
Step 5
Lightly draw a vertical center line and a horizontal guide line across the flower head to help make it symmetric.
Step 6
Draw matching petals around the flower head using the guide lines so both sides look balanced.

Help!?
If I don't have colored paper or a fine-tip black marker, what can I use instead?
Use torn magazine pages or painted printer paper for the cutouts and trace over your pencil lines with a thin black gel pen, ballpoint pen, or a deeply sharpened dark colored pencil instead of the fine-tip marker.
My marker smudged or the ink bled when tracing—how can I fix or avoid this?
To avoid smudging, follow the instruction to wait for the ink to dry, blot excess ink gently with scrap paper if needed, and if lines fade or smear, lightly redraw the pencil guides before carefully retracing with the marker.
How can I adapt the activity for a toddler versus an older child?
For toddlers, pre-draw the rounded bulb, stem, and flower head and let them color with crayons and glue pre-cut shapes using safety scissors, while older kids can add the vertical/horizontal guide lines, detailed pencil shading, precise marker tracing, and layered colored-paper decorations.
What are simple ways to extend or personalize the finished flowery bulb?
Personalize it by gluing on textured fabric scraps or glitter to the colored-paper shapes, add extra decorative marks on the bulb as in the instructions, arrange several bulbs into a scene, and then take a photo to share on DIY.org.
