Last week, the children explored the topic of summer flowers following on from the topic of bee’s.

The toddler room children explored flower sensory bags, flower printing, flowers stuck in ice cubes and made their own flower perfumes with the petals from the previous activities. The toddler room children can tell us that flowers need sun, soil and water to grow after the topic ended. 🌸

The preschool room looked at each part of the flower, smelt all the different types of flower and discussed their favourite type of flower whilst researching them and recalling what a flower needs to grow. They also used petals for counting and grouping and made their own beautiful bouquets. 💐

Babies were able to use watering cans, soil and flowers to grow their very own garden. This supported their communication and language skills by being involved in discussions using key words such as dig, grow, sun, soil. They also created their own artwork using a big canvas on the wall using flowers and paint and explored flower play dough
