Poinsettia Pattern

Navidad Activities



The poinsettia is a plant whose red or white leaves appear to be the petals of a flower, but the flower is actually the small, yellow part in the center. The plant also has green leaves. The poinsettia is often used as a Christmas flower. Originally cultivated in Mexico, it is called "la flor de Nochebuena".

Print out the pattern below. Duplicate, cut out, and color the leaves. Glue the leaves together as seen in the pattern to the left.
