Flowers are blooming everywhere! My loves smelling daffodils, picking up dandelions and admiring cherry blossoms. With his current interest, I pulled out a flower theme so I can make use of these interests.
Here’s a craft which was inspired by No Time For Flashcards. The number corresponds to the number of petals in the flower. Then he insisted on adding stems and leaves and grasses.
Then on sunny day, we explore the estate to pick up some flowers and identify some wildflowers as well.
Once at home, we identified each flowers and matched them to the ones in the books. (Books were borrowed from our library)
We also used some of the flowers as paint brushes for his artwork.
He managed to use the leaves as well :)
We such had a great time working with flowers! Reminds me of myself wayyy back a long time ago... enjoying picking up flowers during summer with my friends as well.
Happy Monday everyone!
