- Glue F Page
- Draw a large F on your paper
- Cover the lines with flower stickers!
- Fun Flower Vase
- Use an empty vase & fake flowers (or make some with foam paper & skewers).
- Every time you catch someone doing something nice (or listening to mom the first time), they get to put a flower in the vase.
- Do this all week long!
- Flower Pot Race
- Use the same flowers from above. “Plant” them at one end of the room.
- Put the vase at the other end.
- Take turns running to the flowers, “picking one” and bringing it back to the vase.
- Give a high five and it’s the next players turn to run down and pick a flower. My kids love this one!
-
- Play a flower match game
- Use foam paper to cut out 10 flower shapes.
- Use green foam paper to cut out 10 center circles.
- Write numbers 1-10 on each of the flowers and centers.
- Let the kids match them
- Plant tulip bulbs!
- Make handprint flowers
- Draw a green stem down the center of a paper.
- Cover your whole hand (palm & finger) in a pretty color of paint. This makes the top of the flower.
- Cover your bare feet in green paint (do this outside!). These make the leaves.
You have such great ideas! I would love to see a picture of your handprint flowers.
ReplyDeleteWe had fun doing these activities at home and I also plan to use some of your ideas in my sunbeams class when we do the lesson, "I'm Thankful for Trees, Plants, and Flowers." Thanks for the ideas! Here is a fun activity I found on sugardoodle that goes along with this lesson:
ReplyDeleteBig Blooms - In a traffic free area of the room, adhere green masking tape stems to the floor. Cut out big flower blossoms (white) , centers (different color for each flower, and pot from construction paper and use clear contact paper covering to adhere the cutouts to the floor. A child stands behind the flowerpot, names a color, and attempts to toss the beanbag on the matching flower center. In a similar manner, a child can stand on the flower pot and hop from flower to flower, naming the colors along the way.
