Cookie Flower Pots
Cookie flowers help grow cookie knowledge!
Girls will be blooming with cookie knowledge and excitement after planting
this pot of cookie flowers.
Each sweet bloom highlights a different variety with
petals perfect for filling with those little gems of information that describe each delectable treat. Start growing
your cookie garden today!
Supplies:
Paper cup, preferrably white. One per girl. The thicker,
insulated coffee cups work best. Uncoated (not glossy)
will accept markers better for decorating.
Cup wrap template (optional). Allows girls to decorate
a flat cup wrap, instead of drawing decorations directly
on the cup. Also great for covering cups that are not white.
Scissors
Colorful markers and cookie clip art to decorate cups.
Flower template copied on index card weight paper. One per girl.
Blank white index card weight paper - One 8 1/2” x 11“ sheet per girl - to use as backs of flowers.
Crayons - to color in flowers
Fine point black permanent markers - to write cookie info on flowers.
Tape - to secure cup wrap to cup.
Glue or glue sticks - to glue flowers together
Stapler/staples - to secure flowers to pipe cleaner stems
Styrofoam ball. One per girl. Sized to fit inside your cups. Our 12 oz cup (3 1/2” D top, used a 3“ foam ball).
Green pipe cleaners (6 to 8 per girl for flower stems)
Pretend dirt (optional) - cover the styrofoam ball with dried beans, or crumpled tissue paper or other
covering. Remember - cups may get knocked over, so don’t use anything you don’t want to clean up!
Ribbon - to decorate cup. One 26” piece per girl.
Cookie flyer and/or poster board with cookie descriptors - use to review cookies varieties and help girls
with descriptions.
Step One:
Take time to review and describe the different cookie varieties with the girls. If you are conducting a
large event, it would be helpful to make a large poster board listing descriptors for the flower petals
under each cookie name/cookie picture/cookie box color.
Distribute supplies to each girl.

Step Two:
Invite girls to:
Decorate the flower pot (cup), OR the cup wrap. (Ideas: write “I ♥ Girl Scout Cookies” or “I ♥ ‘Your Favorite
GS Cookie’ ” or “It’s Girl Scout Cookie Time” or “Cookies Rock!”)
Attach the cup wrap to the cup, taping it in place.
Tie a ribbon around the cup, just below the top rim of
the cup. Use a staple, or tape to secure it in place so
that the cup wrap does not slip down. -- Color in the flowers, using each cookie’s box color.
Write one descriptive word on each flower petal, that describes the cookie pictured (see suggestions below).
Cut out the flowers. Place the blank white paper behind the flower template, so you are cutting a matching
flower front and flower back at the same time. IMPORTANT: Glue each flower together as soon as it is cut out,
OR paper clip each matching set together. (Optional - color the backs of the flowers!)
Make a pipe cleaner stem for each flower. Form a small “leaf-shaped” loop at the center of the pipe cleaner,
twisting at the base of the leaf to hold the shape. Repeat, to form a second leaf.
Secure each flower to a stem. Place the stem between the flower front and back and secure by stapling the
flower to the stem..
Place the styrofoam ball inside the cup.
Plant the stems by sticking them into the styrofoam ball.
Cover the styrofoam ball with dried beans, crumbled tissue paper, or other item.
Suggest girls place in location where they can grow their cookie knowledge as they look at their cookie garden!
