Spring - Flowers

For our last day learning about spring, we studied flowers!   Here are a few of the activities I did with my fours.

In circle time we talked about the parts of the flower.  The roots seemed to be a new idea.  So we talked about their job, which is to suck up water and nutrients from the soil.  We also talked about what a plant needs to live.  The kiddos got sun and water then one of them shouted:  "Love!  They need love!"  So you can see below, that they added those things to the white board.

Using the above white board, my fours created their own flowers with all of the parts.  I pulled out a variety of craft items for them to use, hoping to get different textures.

 

We also made flower necklaces.  Using cupcake liners again, we laced the flowers and a bit of straw onto yarn.

The kiddos also got to take home a pansy to plant in their garden at home.
