Fun Preschool Spring Activities Using Flowers

April 3, 2021 by Sheryl Cooper

Inside: This collection of preschool spring activities is all about flowers! Each idea includes lots of hands-on exploration and learning opportunities. Perfect for your spring theme!

I get so giddy when spring arrives! After a winter of little color, it’s hard not to be delighted with the beautiful flowers that adorn our neighborhoods. We love to explore color this time of year, so putting together preschool   spring activities using flowers  is so fun!

There are so many learning opportunities using flowers, too. We make sure to have vases of real flowers in our science area and we will grow our own as well.  Along with exploring live flowers and planting our own from seeds, we read various flower books, create flower art, as well as other hands-on flower activities.

My spring and gardening Pinterest boards are packed with ideas, but I thought I’d share some favorites on my blog for easier reference.

Really cool science project to grow their own flowers or grass in the spring. The kids love checking them and watching them grow. It’d be a really cool activity to have them make their own paper bouquet along with it, having them guess what their flowers will look like. ~Lanna

Handprint Flowers

Sharing is caring!

These handprint flowers are a great craft for kids. They can be turned into a beautiful paper flower present for mom or grandma for Mother’s Day or a teacher’s end of the school year gift.

Handprint flowers

I created these potted paper flowers last year for my boys’ teachers. Because the handprint flower bouquets I made the year before, became so popular especially around Mother’s Day, I think these flowers would also make an amazing Mother’s Day craft for preschoolers and older kids. Although making them involves a bit more steps than our handprint flower bouquets , it’s all worth it. They look incredible!

Paper handprint flowers

Because it was a teacher gift, I started by gathering handprints of all my boys’ classmates. Here are some tips if you plan on doing the same.

14 Arts and Crafts Projects for Toddlers

pre school hand work flowers

Lengthen your little one's attention span and spur creativity with well-planned craft time . From squirt gun painting to sticker lettering, here you'll find a bunch of solid ideas to fill any afternoon.

Paper Plate Animals

Preschoolers can finger paint paper plates, then add construction paper faces and limbs to create their own petting zoos. Paper plates provide the perfect canvas for kids–they're sturdy enough for paint and glue, and double as a convenient paint palette.

Paper Plate Animals  from  I Heart Crafty Things

Letter of the Week

Get a jump start on phonics for little ones with a fun weekly letter craft. Parents cut construction paper letters, then little ones can decorate to capture the spirit of an alliterated word. This handy tutorial provides free printables for less artistically-inclined grown ups.

Letter of the Week  from  Crystal and Co.

Sticker Name Activity

Practice letters and fine motor skills with dot stickers and pre-written names. Preschoolers are bound to enjoy making a bit of personal art, and parents will love the mess-free, quiet concentration time this project requires.

Sticker Name Activity  from  Busy Toddler

Painted Pasta Necklace

Rigatoni gets the Monet treatment with this tactile craft. Toddlers can channel their inner designers to create watercolor pasta jewelry that's as much fun to create as it is to wear.

Painted Pasta Necklace  from  Picklebums

Firework Stamps

Stamp painting is perfect for little hands, and creating this firework stamp from a recycled cardboard tube is quick and easy. Kids will spend hours painting fireworks (or starbursts or sunflowers or puffy clouds!). Low on paint?  Make your own using mostly on-hand ingredients .

Firework Stamps  from  Happiness is Homemade

Flour and oil combine to make a highly malleable, and incredibly fun, sculpting material. Toddlers can help mix the moon sand, then have a tactile and creative play time. Be sure to line the play surface with plastic–the oily sand can leave residue behind.

Moon Sand  from  Lessons Learnt Journal

Egg Carton Crabs

Megan Graney

Upcycle empty egg cartons into cute crawling critters with this easy project. Kids paint the egg cups, transforming them into shells, then twist a pipe cleaner into the cute little crab claws. Grown-ups need to lend a hand to hot glue things together on this one.

Egg Carton Crabs  from  The Spruce Crafts

Squirt Gun Painting

Fireflies and Mud Pies

You'll need to wait for warmer months for this activity–it causes an outdoors-only kind of mess. Fill squirt guns with liquid watercolor paint, then let preschoolers go to town on sheets of construction paper clipped to a canvas or tacked to a tree.

Squirt Gun Painting  from  Fireflies and Mud Pies

Magic Milk Paint

Toddlers get a bit of chemistry with their art in this activity–a little whole milk, food coloring, and a dish soap-dipped toothpick provide a play surface that will keep little ones entertained for hours. Kids also get firsthand experience at color mixing with this one!

Magic Milk Paint  from  Modern Parents Messy Kids

Liquid Sidewalk Chalk

Most preschoolers will jump at the chance to squirt liquids from plastic bottles–why not let them create beautiful temporary artwork while they're at it? Mix up a big batch of liquid chalk (cornstarch, vinegar, water, baking soda, and food coloring), then send kiddos out to the driveway to create.

Liquid Sidewalk Chalk  from  Growing a Jeweled Rose

Straw Bead Necklace

Clip bright straws into segments to create inexpensive, recycled beads that toddlers can string onto yarn. Kids can practice color recognition and patterning with this easy and mess-free craft.

Flowers preschool and kindergarten activities, games, crafts, and lesson plans. April showers bring May flowers. May is a traditional month to celebrate spring. The weather is turning warm, birds are singing, and flowers are blooming. One way to celebrate spring is to make May baskets and fill them with flowers. Discover with your children the world of plants and flowers during the month of May. Plants are living things. Many plants have flowers, but some do not. Flowers come in many shapes and make the seeds that grow into new plants.

Flowers learning centers.

Block Center Add some brown fabric or felt, silk flowers, toy garden tools, and seeds to your block center. Let children create garden beds and plant flowers. 

Pretend Play Make a flower stand. Provide shoeboxes, plastic vases, silk flowers, a cash register, pictures of flowers, and wrapping paper. Let children pretend to be a flower shop and selling flowers to their customers. 

Sensory Table Place moist sand in your sand table together with silk flowers, sunflower seeds, plastic gardening tools, a watering can, and garden gloves. Let children plant a flower garden.

Flowers Learning Activities

Down in the Garden Finger Play

Down in the garden (point to right) Where the dandelions grow, (touch heels of hands together, curve fingers) They have soft puffballs (make circle with thumb and forefinger) That I can blow. (blow through circle) The seeds all scatter, (float hands, wiggling fingers gently) And they float through the air (spread hands) Soon we'll have dandelions everywhere! 

Flower Life Cycle  (Science) Print the Flower Life Cycle cards and place on the board. Talk about the life cycle of a flower. Let children roll into a ball pretending to be a seed. As you play soft music let children slowly grow in to a flower, and then sway in the wind and look up to the sun.

Parts of a Flower Science Activity

Explain to children that a flower or any plant has different parts: roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and seeds.  Flowers produce seeds that can grow into new plants. Flowers have parts on the outside (petals) and the inside (ovule, pistil, stamen, stigma). Flowers will wilt, dry out, and die if they are uprooted from the soil. Cut flowers survive in just water, but only for a few days.

Instruction: Show children a flower, such as a daisy or carnation, with roots attached. Ask children, "Can anyone name the parts of a flower?" Point to the petals or flower of the plant and ask, "What are these called?" Explain to children that the flower has parts on the outside (petals) and the inside (ovule, pistil, stamen, stigma). Explain to children that flowers produce seeds that can grow into new plants. Point to the leaves and say, "Leaves are the plant's food factory. The flower makes food from sunlight. It's called photosynthesis. The stem is the plant's drinking straw. With the roots the stem helps bring water to all parts of the plant." Point to the center of the flower and explain that flowers make the seeds that grow into new plants. Last, point to the roots and explain that the roots hold the plant in place. Plants need water to live. They take it in through their roots. The water travels through their stems to the veins in their leaves up to the flower.

Planting Flowers 1-10  (Number Sense)

Fill a tall flower pot or with sand. Print and cut flower shapes out of construction paper. Decorate the flowers and attach a craft stick to each flower. Write the numbers 1-10 on the flowers. Let children plant the flowers in order from 1-10. 

Variation: Print the flower number cards 1-10 and cut out. Place the cards face down on the table. Let children turn over a card and plant the matching number of flowers inside their flower pot. If two children are playing ask, "Which flower pot has more flowers?" 

Flower Planting Numbers 1-10 Game (Activity and Printables available inside our Kidssoup Resource Library)

flower math number game

Flower Garden Patterns Cut our flower shapes out of three different colors of craft paper. Let children copy and create flower patterns.

Sunflower Seeds Counting (Number Sense and Fine Motor Skills) Print out our flower pots mat with the number 1-10 and laminate. Place sunflower seeds inside a small basket. Let children count and place the matching number of seeds on each pot. 

Picking Flower Petals Cut out a brown circle and 20 yellow flower petals out of craft paper. Let children roll a die and pick the matching number of petals from their flower.

Flower Sniff Show children a selection of flowers that have different fragrances. Let them smell each flower and make a chart of their favorite flower smell.

Flower Pressing Go on a walk and collect some flowers. Explain to children that the flowers will wilt and die quickly after being picked. Tell them that to preserve their beauty, we can press the flowers. To preserve the flowers they need to be completely dried out. Have children choose two or three flowers to preserve. Write child's name on a piece of newspaper. Arrange the flowers face down on the paper without overlapping. Cover the flowers with another piece of newspaper. Carefully place them inside a heavy book such an old telephone directory. Allow flowers to dry for at least two weeks.

Flower Math Activities At the craft store buy small ribbon rosebuds in a variety of colors. Use a muffin tin to sort by color or count them or make patterns.

Free Flower Crafts

Flower Seed Collage Print sunflower pattern and cut out. Trace onto craft paper. Have children glue a variety of seeds onto flower. Show them how to get different effects by using one kind of seed for the center of the flower and another kind of seed for the petals. Have children color the stem and leaves green.

Popcorn Flowers Mix popped popcorn in paper bag with colored tempera paint and shake. Have children draw a stem and leaves for their flower on construction paper. Glue popcorn on paper for flower petals.

Coffee Filter Flowers Give each child 3-5 coffee filters or tissue paper. Have children color (decorate) them with magic markers (or watercolor paints). Once children are finished decorating, lay the coffee filters on top of each other and gather them in the center. Twist a green pipe cleaner around the center for a stem. Display bouquet in a vase.

Flowers Snack Idea

Fruit Salad Flowers   Cut oranges and apples into thin slices, slice bananas, cut celery into long strips, and cut green grapes in half. Give children large plates and show them how to arrange fruit to build a flower: apple and orange slice for petals, banana slice for centers, celery for stem, and green grape halves for leaves. Then give them a few sunflower seeds to put in the center of their flower.

Sunflower Snack Cover a half of an English muffin with peanut butter. Add sliced bananas around the edge. Then,  add a few raisins or shelled sun flower seeds in the middle.

Three Flower Activities for Preschool Science

Springtime is the perfect time to begin teaching preschool students about flowers and plants. Gather a variety of flowers and seeds and be prepared to watch your preschoolers’ science skills blossom with these fun, hands-on flower activities.

The Reason for a Flower

Everyone loves a flower for its bright colors and sweet smell, but flowers have a very important job, too. Teach your preschool students about the job of a flower with this activity. Read the book The Reason for a Flower by Ruth Heller to introduce students to the flower’s job of making seeds.

Pollination

Many different types of animals and insects pollinate flowers. Introduce your preschool students to these pollinators and to the special features of certain flowers that attract them.

Bring in pictures of the different types of pollinators and the flowers they prefer. If possible bring in some real flowers too, so that the children smell them as well. Look at other flowers and decide which animals might pollinate them. Let the children paint made up flowers and share what animals they think would pollinate them. You can even provide a floral scented perfume and let them spray their flowers with it to show that they are scented

What Flowers Need

Plant 2 - Plant in soil. Place in a sunny location, but do not water.

Plant 4 - Plant in gravel. Place in a sunny location and water regularly.

These preschool science flower activities will enhance your students’ science skills and be a great addition to your preschool flower unit .

Handprint Lilies | How to Make an Easy Paper Lily

These handprint lilies are so beautiful and surprisingly easy to make! They’d make such a thoughtful handmade gift idea for Mother’s Day if you make a small bouquet and tie them together with a ribbon. Or you could make a bouquet of handprint Easter lilies if you use white paper. Can Easter lilies be pink? I think they’re just white? Either way, they’re adorable for spring and they’re a wonderful low mess craft to make with the kids!

I had such an awesome helper when I made these paper handprint lilies! My spunky 5 year old loves crafts, and she loves helping me with the crafts that I make for the blog. It’s so much fun that she’s finally at an age where we can do crafts together! You know… as opposed to me making the entire craft while she watches me make the craft and “helps”  makes each step more difficult . Big difference!

As a blogger, it’s a lot of extra work to make crafts since I have to set up a full photo shoot and take pictures every step of the way. Usually my kids lose interest, but my 5 year old was totally into it for this one! She wanted to be part of every step and insisted that I include a photo of her and the paper lily that she made all by herself (see below!). So I have to give a big shout out to my awesome helper and hand model for this one! I loved having her at my side!

These handprint lilies are so easy to make and they look so beautiful! You can use coloured paper and make a bouquet of paper handprint lilies for Mother's Day. Or if you make them with white paper they make lovely Easter lilies. They're such an awesome Mother's day craft and a low mess Easter craft idea!

I love the idea of turning a handprint into a flower! Who would have thought they’d look so pretty!? And this craft is so simple that my 5 year old could make the entire craft all by herself. She needed a little bit of help here and there just to help her make things look tidy, but for the most part, she was able to create a beautiful paper lily all by herself.

Here’s my little helper with her finished flower:

The poor thing was home from school and sick with a fever when we made it, but a little bit of crafting (and children’s Advil…) made everything better and cheered her right up!

I used pink printer paper to make our lilies, but you could easily use construction paper. It would probably work if you made them out of thicker card stock too, they might just be a little bit harder to curve into shape.

pre school hand work flowers

Start by tracing the outline of your hand onto the printer paper.

Then cut out your handprint. If you have any pencil marks showing on the paper, just use an eraser to carefully erase them.

pre school hand work flowers

Curl the bottom of the hand shape into a cone. Leave a small hole at the tip of the cone, just large enough to fit a pipe cleaner through.

pre school hand work flowers

Then use a small piece of invisible tape to hold it together.

pre school hand work flowers

Use a ROUND pencil (not a hexagonal pencil like I’m showing in the picture below) to curl each one of the fingers of the handprint outwards. A pencil crayon, marker or round pen will also work well.

If you use a pencil with the hexagonal corners like I’m showing in the picture below, it will end up leaving little folded marks on your paper. I just forgot to go back and take a better photograph of that for you so just try to keep it in mind while you’re making these.

pre school hand work flowers

Curl each one of the fingers outwards so that your flower looks something like this:

pre school hand work flowers

I ended up using one 6″ yellow pipe cleaner and one 6″ green pipe cleaner. If you don’t have short pipe cleaners, just cut the standard 12″ long pipe cleaners in half.

Start by bending the yellow pipe cleaner in half:

pre school hand work flowers

Make a little “J” shaped hook on the end of the green pipe cleaner and loop it over the bend in the yellow pipe cleaner.

Then bend one side of the yellow pipe cleaner in half again, leaving the other side straight like in the photo below.

pre school hand work flowers

Pinch the “J” shape in the green pipe cleaner so it tightly holds the yellow pipe cleaner. If there’s room, you can twist it a little, but as long as you pinch it tightly, it should hold itself together nicely.

Then take the longer end of the yellow pipe cleaner and wrap it tightly around the shorter side of the yellow pipe cleaner. Keep wrapping tightly until you reach the end of the yellow pipe cleaner.

Then repeat all of these steps to make yourself a small bouquet! The bouquet doesn’t need to be big. Three handprint lilies looks beautiful!

Don’t they look pretty? And they are so easy to make! Who would have thought!?

Forever Bloom Farm

A place to grow.  

Forever Bloom Farm is located in Pescadero, California, a tiny coastal farming community about one hour south of San Francisco, and just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean. Our 5 acre farm is nestled in a valley, coined “sunshine valley” by locals, and is surrounded by 360 degrees of ancient redwood forest. Most summer mornings are blanketed by cool and salty marine layers of fog that burn off by mid-day and leave us with the perfect climate for our gorgeous flowers and produce to thrive.

Our team consists of energetic, entertaining and hard-working farmer-florists assisted by amazing interns and dedicated seasonal workers.  We take a holistic approach to caring for the land, solely utilizing organic and regenerative farming practices.  All of our crops are grown using no-till farming techniques, hand-crafted rich organic composts and inoculant, cover cropping and crop rotation.  We love spending our days in the fields surrounded by the busy bees that work alongside us as we plant, tend, harvest, laugh and create beauty together.

We grow more than 300 varietals of breathtaking flowers, foliage and ornamentals. From the colorful Anemones, Ranunculus, Tulips and Daffodils that begin to flower in early February and continue through November as we finish off our season with the last of the fall bounty of Sunflowers, Zinnias, Dahlias, ornamental Gourds and Pumpkins.  We specialize in growing unusual varieties of flowers and foliage that contribute a touch of magic and design flair to our unique offerings.

Throughout the year we hand-craft seasonal artisan floral arrangements, wreaths and bouquets for our clients, upon request, and at our driveway farm stand.  For those interested in designing your own arrangements, we offer blooms by the bucket for special events.

We love to share the joy that a fragrant bunch of fluttering sweet peas brings to your senses, the smile on your face and warmth in your heart that happens when you hold a beautiful bouquet in your arms.  It is that fulfillment that brings us back to the fields day after day.

Santa Rosa school stabbing: Victims' families say administration 'failed' students in campus safety

KGO logo

The victims' families say administration 'failed' students leading up to deadly Montgomery High School stabbing in Santa Rosa.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KGO) -- A somber cloud hovers over Montgomery High School -- with hugs by parents and school officials -- at the same time the bell would typically ring, just one day after a student was stabbed to death inside of a classroom.

"What every single one of these parents lived through yesterday was their worst nightmare, and of course, it goes to school safety and 'Is my child safe at school?' and no parent should have to deal with that," Alexis Kearney, a parent said.

As more families stop by the closed school to drop off flowers at the memorial under the school's flagpole, Kearney's daughter, 14-year-old Kate, calls for an end to the violence.

"We really need to protect ourselves, we need to be safe, we need to be respectful to others, we need to be kind, we need to stay out of this, violence at school needs to end," said Kate Kearney, a student at a nearby middle school said.

MORE: 17-year-old student dies after stabbing at Santa Cruz County high school, sheriff says

The family identified the student killed as 16-year-old Jayden Pienta, but this comes less than three years after the Santa Rosa City School Board unanimously voted to remove all school resource officers from the district.

"Would a resource officer help if they could truly be engaged with the students and walk among them?" said Mary Gonnella, a neighbor and former parent of the school. "Maybe some type of community connection is needed."

"It's awful that they have gun shooter drills but clearly, it's not enough," Kearney said.

School Board President Stephanie Manieri was on the board that unanimously voted to remove these officers.

TAKE ACTION: Get help with improving our schools

"I have historically, personally, not been in support of school resource officers," Manieri said. "There are many different ways that we need to look at safety and so I am really open to having all conversations about what safety looks like on our campuses."

And while she says, the district is working over the next couple of days to figure out what school will look like safety and security-wise once students come back on Monday, she says, she's all ears to her students.

"I think we need to listen to our youth. I think that our youth really want to be heard right now. I think that we need to offer them the space for them to share and to grieve and to hurt, and we as adults in the system really need to do a better job of listening to them," she said.

Police says Pienta and his friend (whose family have only identified as "Cruz") were stabbed during a fight, in which they went to confront a 15-year-old freshman, who was in the class.

MORE: Oakland school shooting: New cellphone video shows students running out of campus after shots fired

According Maria Cervantes, Cruz's mother, she warned the school three weeks ago that there was trouble between the students. She alleges that the school did nothing in response.

"You guys had common knowledge that things were going on. You guys told me, three weeks ago, when you pulled me in for a meeting to let me know that my son was assaulted, three weeks ago, by this same individual, that you guys have first-hand knowledge that this was going to happen," say Maria Cervantes, the mother of Cruz, referring to the school administration. "And you didn't even stop it then."

Cruz was stabbed in the hand, treated and released from the hospital hours later.

Cervantes, who is a nurse, says for three weeks, her family has been trying to get resolution. She adds that the same 15-year-old freshman slashed Jayden's tires last week.

MORE: Michigan State shooting: Classes, athletics to resume as students, staff grapple with horror

"So not only did, yesterday, he bring a knife to class, but last week as well. So, this isn't an isolated incident where this individual has brought weapons onto the campus. It's not," says Cervantes.

Jayden's grandmother also confirmed on Wednesday that Jayden's parent raised concerns with the school. They also reported the tire slashing.

"They had issues last week and went to the school, and asked them to do something about it. And nothing happened," said Cheryl Griffin, Jayden's grandmother

"I want to make it very clear that the school and the school district failed my son! And they failed Jayden! And they failed the rest of the students that attend this school," Cervantes said.

Sargent Christopher Mahurni with the Santa Rosa Police Department says "anything below the level of violence," is handled at the school level.

But Cervantes claims her son was assaulted, which then should have been reported to police. Yet Sgt. Mahurni says he is not aware of any previous assault.

"I did look into it earlier today. There are no cases, that I am seeing, filed between those three students that are associated with any assaults that I am aware of," says Mahurni.

Mahurni says they have received 97 calls from Montgomery High over the past 12 months.

Cervantes believes Jayden's death was preventable had the school acted.

Some argue, had the district keep the school resources officer, Wednesday's confrontation may not have escalated. However, Sgt. Mahurni says that is not always the case.

"We did less calls for service when officers were on campus, because they built those relationships with students, to be able to prevent them. It doesn't mean it's not going to happen. We are seeing nationwide, violence happens on campus, even with SROs on there," Mahurni said.

The school district did not return request for comment.

ABC7 News has not been able to reach representatives of the 15-year-old freshman, either, to get his side of the story.

Santa Rosa police say the 15-year-old was arrested and booked into the juvenile justice center.

He's now facing three felony charges of homicide, attempted homicide and weapon on a school campus, and one count of misdemeanor battery.

As a reminder, Montgomery High School will continue to be closed for the rest of the week as this community works to process what happened.
