Wildflowers are blooming throughout California. The season calls for getting outdoors and enjoying some fresh air, along with a little physical activity. This craft encourages children to get outside and explore while learning about plants and their environment.
**Be sure to wear sunscreen!
What you need:
- Cardboard
- Pen
- Yarn
Directions:
- The parent or caregiver should select or cut a piece of cardboard that’s about the size of a piece of printer paper. Ask the child to draw a vase on the cardboard. The parent should use the pen to punch holes (about 6-8 holes) in a curved formation above the vase.
- Guide the child through a field of flowers or backyard garden (be sure to ask permission if it’s not your property). Pick a flower for each hole on the cardboard.
- Thread the stems of the flowers through the holes, one flower per hole.
