Flowers & Plants Preschool Theme
This week we are talking about flowers and plants. I love doing this theme in line with Mother’s Day because you can easily transform some of the crafts into Mother’s Day cards or gifts.

What is prayer – Prayer is talking to God. He wants us to talk to Him and is never too busy to listen. Prayer is thanking God for what He has given us, asking God for things we need, and asking God to forgive us for what we have done wrong. We can pray anytime and anywhere.
Teen flower – draw a flower center with 18 on it. Then cut 18 strips of tissue paper for flower petals and glue them to the center to make a flower. Draw a stem if you want.
Seed Counting – Make 18 out of playdough, then count 18 beans and place them on a half sheet of brown construction paper ‘dirt’. Write the 18 on the paper
Plant measuring – go outside and find a variety of plants/flowers. Use unifix or a tape measurer to measure them – try to find one that is 18”
Cotton ball flowers – Glue cotton balls on a piece of carboard. Make a couple different colors of water with food coloring and use a dropper to drop the colors onto the cotton balls to paint them
Tree/Plant of its origin – Unfortunately I cannot find the resource that I have, but it basically has a bunch of different products and shows which plant or tree they come from. Here are some ideas of things that come from plants & here is a printable with a few as well.
