Great activity
My students loved making their flowers and they turn out so cute!
I am thrilled to add this resource to one of my Balanced Literacy Thematic Unit. Thank you!!!
Great activity for us to work on with our older buddy class!
My students were very into all things outdoors and learning about flowers. This interactive project was the perfect way to brighten up the school and learn too.
I used this resource to help a Girl Scout Troupe get their STEM (STEAM) badge. They loved making all the flowers and they were so creative! Wonderful resource.
This was a great activity to use with my gifted 1st graders.
The students had an amazing time creating flowers; they buzzed like bees as they brought their designs to life.
My students have loved this activity. We set up a store and used our money to buy supplies. This was engaging and fun.
