Good morning everyone – I hope you are enjoying this lovely weather.
So, yesterday, I received the most beautiful bunch of flowers ever, and it got me thinking ……
…..flowers are so beautiful and can be used for so many lovely things. Remember making perfume out of petals, and potions in the garden with grass and dandelions? 🙂 Well … as well as those ideas, here are a few more you could try.
Using some double sided tape and a piece of cardboard/paper/cereal box create your child’s name. Go for a walk with your board and along the way collect flowers and grass, sticks and small leaves to stick on. A fun way to learn some letters.
Another activity my two children love is adding loose parts to their play dough – Dandelion dough is fab and again so much fun to use little bits of nature around us to brighten it up.
But my ultimate favourite is this one below, and so much fun on hot days like today…..
Go for a walk and collect some flowers – the more colours the better and with a little help from an adult place them inside empty egg shells.
Fill them with water and carefully place them in the freezer for a few hours to solidify.
Once you peel the shell off the results are amazing 🙂
And super fun and educational to watch and handle as they melt.
Have a great day everybody 🙂
