We were given such a spectacular display of flowers for Teacher Appreciation week that we thought it was time to bring out our floral works!
Sensorial Exploration
Different Kinds of Flowers
We have a ridiculous number of picture matching cards and they’re all out on the shelves! I may donate some of these to a needy teacher this summer. Almost all these images are from flower catalogs.
I like this variation of picture matching: close-ups!
3-Part Cards
Tracing words on a wipe-off sheet. These are part of the flower pack from 3Dinosaurs
Examining the Parts of a Flower
We love all of our botany puzzles (affiliate link)! The older children have been enjoying tracing and coloring the puzzle pieces. I need to dig up a picture of that activity in action.
Dissecting a flower
3-Part Cards. I adapted these from the set available at The Montessori Printshop.
On the Fine Motor Shelf
A bird’s eye view of the materials I pulled out for our fine motor works. The dry transfer activities have tiny flower shaped pasta. Fun!
In the Art Area
Origami paper folding
Pinpunching a daffodil
Somewhere along my teaching journey I had picked up these lovely blacklines. Finally added them to our art shelf for the children to use with the watercolors.
Flower Arranging
We typically have flower arranging available for the children. I don’t have a current photo, but here’s an oldie!
