Tot School - Flowers

Flowers

Little Sweets has had a growing interest in flowers.  She loves looking at them outside.  She also loves anything with flowers on it, hair clips, shirts, etc.  I thought with her growing interest in flowers it would only be appropriate to do a flower theme.

Using our Senses to Study Flowers

Little Sweets loves smelling the flowers.

We took a walk  through our neighborhood and talked about the different colored flowers.

Little Sweets found some flowers on the ground and decided she wanted to keep them.  We talked about their color and counted their petals.

StArt- Counting in the Garden and Coffee Filter Flowers

We read the book Counting in the Garden and made coffee filter flowers.  To read more about this activity please go here. 

Flower Math

I copied pictures of our magnetic numbers on our copy machine.  Then I cut out the numbers and drew flower petal around the number.  The number of petals matches the magnetic number in the middle.  Little Sweets matched the magnetic number with the picture of the number in the middle of the flower.  We also counted the number of petals on the flower and talked about the corresponding number. 

I got the magnetic number matching idea from Lana at hart 2 hart and decided to expand upon the idea by adding a counting activity to it.   

Colored Flower Activity

I colored clothespins and had Little Sweets match the colored clothespin with the correct flower.  She is getting better at putting the clothespin on the flowers. 

Watering the Flowers

I told Little Sweets that flowers get thirsty just like she does.  I explained that they need water to drink.  Then she watered the flowers in our garden. 

Other Activities

Frankie's Fun Park

I was hoping we could go in the indoor playground at Frankie's Fun Park.  Luckily it was closed.  It would have cost me $8.00 and Little Sweets was entertained with sitting in the car and pretending to drive it.  I didn't have to spend any money at all.  : )
