How To Use The Build a Flower Card (and Get Your Free Download)
โ Download the free card:
โ Print it out and cut out the card plus the 6 flowers.
โ Attach flower cut-outs to sticks, chopsticks, dowel rods, etc. (Going for a walk and gathering sticks for our flowers was a big hit in my house.)
โ Follow the visual directions on the card to build the bouquet, counting the correct number of flowers and types.
What Kids Learn (Without Even Noticing)
- Sequencing & Following Directions โ Theyโre practicing order and logic in a hands-on, engaging way.
- Fine Motor Skills โ Picking up, arranging, and adjusting the pieces strengthens those little hands.
- Creative Thinking โ No two bouquets turn out the same. (Which is great, because when was the last time a preschooler wanted to follow every direction exactly?)
