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.

Nature collage



Make a Nature collage
Children love to explore nature and the world around them. Take a walk outside; explore nature with your child. Talk about what animals eat and where the animals live. Explore the leaves changing colours. Collect interesting looking items from outside. They will choose what items are interesting to them. Use your collected items to create a interesting  nature collage.
