First you'll need to collect some petals. This can be from your garden or those collected on a nature walk. (This can also be a good time to discuss how to and when you are allowed to, pick flowers!)
Paper glue is fine for gluing petals. You'll also need your petals and paper to create on. This was our only available colours of petals at this stage but as we have different coloured flowers come up depending on the season, we look forward to making something entirely different next time.
She stuck on and arranged all the petals she wanted for her picture and then created a pretty patterned flower petal border with the left overs
Handy Tips:
- Use this activity to talk about and further explore colours, patterns, textures, scents, nature, art etc
- Observe how the picture changes over time as the petals dry out.
- Extend this activity by also giving your child a black marker or fine liner to add detail to their picture. Try making things like petal bugs etc. by adding legs and other details with the pen.
- Listen to your child talk as they go through their experiences. This will help you determine where they are at with their learning, knowledge and understanding and help you to develop the activity (or future activities) to their level and interests.

What a beautiful idea, great for making a picture for Grandma's mothers day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kylie... yes, good idea haha
Deletewhat a great idea! i love the feel of rose petals. and you can't beat the smell, either. yum. these would make pretty suncatchers too!
ReplyDeleteAppreciate it, Andie. I wonder what background you'd stick the petals on for a sun catcher. Perhaps cellophane paper?
DeleteHow beautiful! And bet it smelled divine too :)
ReplyDeleteThese were all rose petals (the only flowers I had blooming in my yard at the time!) and they smelt lovely :)
DeleteLovely pics and i bet it smelled beautiful too!That border is just so creative!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and also thank you for taking the time to comment Jode :)
DeleteYou could use clear contact, but I'd be tempted to laminate them...not sure how long they would last, though!
