Gardening and Flowers
Our Little garden
Each child has their own plot in which we planted a bit of each type of seeds, lettuce, carrots, radish, zucchini, and a sunflower. It is nice because each child can be responsible for their own little plot but still next time I think we might try planting each type separately in each plot and just have it be a group effort![]()
Plant Flowers!
We planted marigolds in peat pots and they are getting ready to bloom!
Painted Flower Pots!
I have done this before where I let the kids paint them however they want and that is cute but this time I did just their fingerprints with red, yellow, and blue with acrylic paint and then used a sharpie to make them into ladybugs, bees, spider, and caterpillar. Spray with clear acrylic sealer inside and out.
Paper Flowers!
![]()
Trace a circle on several different colors of paper. Have children practice cutting on a curve by cutting them out. Have the children snip along the edges of the circles and then glue them onto paper. Add a circle in the center of each flower, stems, and leaves. If they cut them in halves or pieces just have them glue on top of the stems!
Flower PrintsGrass Head Guys
Arrange flowers on water color paper. Cover the flower with several paper towels. Supervise kids as they hit the flowers with a child sized hammer. As the children hit the flowers, their colors will make prints on the paper. Peel flower off of the water color paper and the flower print is complete.
