We can't think of a better way to learn about various families of flowers than to have kids use one of each to create their own bookmark. Simply place the label next to the corresponding flower, fold over the contact paper, place a ribbon through the top, and you have a bookmark with a purpose!
Ages 6 and up.
Unit Goals and Concepts:
- Develop a general understanding of plant and flower classification.
- Showcase 4 beautiful pressed flowers in a hands-on project - the flower bookmark.
- Present information on the basic parts of a flower.
Materials Included:
- 4 pressed flowers for each bookmark - yellow viola, red verbena, purple viola, and Mexican heather.
- Contact paper strips, ribbon, and flower labels to complete the bookmark.
- Our exclusive instructor's activity guide that details the project, while a reproducible page offers a visual representation of the different flowers, some fun facts and more. Loads of instructor activity ideas are included as well.
