Over the past couple of weeks we have been doing lots of plant-themed projects. Here are some of my favorites.
1. Silk Flowers in the Sensory Table
I filled our sensory table with potting soil, added some shovels and flowers pots, and let the children "plant" silk flowers.
2. Bottle Print Flowers
We used recycled plastic bottles to make flowers. Then we drew a little stem on each flower.
3. Sprouting Seeds
Each of the students put a seed in a ziplock bag with a damp paper towel. We hung the bags in the front window and watched them sprout!
4. Q-Tip Flowers
I had the children draw stems on a piece of construction paper. Then we used Q-tips to make tiny flowers at the top of each stem.
5. The Parts of a Plant
For this project, I cut out stems and leaves from green paper. I used pieces of brown pipe cleaner for the roots and real seeds for the seeds. I gave each child a set of plant parts and let them glue the parts onto a piece of paper. When they were finished, they drew a flower on their plant. As they worked, we talked about the names of all the different parts of the plant.
6. Gardening
You can always do some real gardening with children too. To read more about this, check out my post on gardening in preschool.
