Flower activities



Flower Sponge Printing and pre-writing the stem and leaves -

This activity helped the children reinforce their paintbrush handling and making a horizontal line. Some children realised that the stem was like the number 1 and that painting the leaves made it look like a cross. 











Colouring a sunflower and making a collage -
This activity helped the children reinforce their tripod grasp while colouring the flower and then they started exploring the different lentils texture.  This activity was a continuation of yesterday's story "The small small seed" and a good opportunity to repeat the parts of a flower in Maltese - fjura, petali, weraq, xitla.

Eggshell collage

 

Use food coloring to colour crushed eggshells. Use a few different colours. (You can use eggshells from eggs you have used. There is no need to hard boil these egg shells.) Let your child glue the eggshells to a piece a paper, after the dye has dried.
