Glimmercat Education: flower

Little Miss loves flowers! So making little flowers is a perfect way to finish up our last day in the week of F. But first...

Little Miss and her brother played a Matching Game. This time, we used all the cards we made for F AND the cards we made for the Letter E, too. Extra practice and it made our game longer. (And much to her brother's surprise, Little Miss tied and came awfully close to beating him).

Then, we printed out the Flower Craft from our letter of the week packet for F and...

Little Miss cut out her flowers and positioned them into place. Then, she chose her pom poms for the middle of her flowers.

She enjoyed this, but she was really looking forward to the Flower Puzzle that she knew I had also printed out. (She really likes these puzzles!)

I colored the leaves in the pictures green before she cut them out because I had a suspicion that this puzzle might be tough to do and thought coloring the leaves green might make it a little easier for her to figure out.

Then, though we tried to let her do most of it, we all helped put this one together (it was tough!) and then she glued the pieces into place and colored in the flowers.

And that was it! The Letter F is all complete. I think we hit some fun crafts in our journey with this letter.

Frankly, we had fun with the letter F. It's astonishing when you sit down and think about it, how many delightful nouns begin with F. It was almost a trick to narrow down which ones we'd choose to do.

For instance, "F is for Fox".

One of the activities included in each of our Letter of the Week packets, is this nifty "Match the Big Letter to the Little Letter" Coloring activity. It's good practice for those capital and lowercase letters. My daughter got to use paint for this one.

Then she used our Fox craft page (available in color or black and white for children to color on their own) to make this little guy.

On another day, we introduce "F is for Flower", as seen in one of the Lesson Plans included in our packet:

After completing her Flower Puzzle, she made her little pom pom flowers using the craft sheet:

For the Homeschooling Mom, here's another idea you could include in your F is for Flower day:

We began with the green letter F that makes up the leaves and stems of the flowers below.

Then we cut and folded some toilet paper tubes and had the fun of painting them, too.

We were going for Black-Eyed-Susans and opted for a black puffy center, but you could certainly use a different colored pom-pom for the center if you wished.

Another fun craft is included in our F is for Frog Day.

We decided to have it be a black and white printable that could be printed out and colored.

Yep, F is for Fun, first and foremost!

I have a pre-colored and black and white option so that the kids can color it if preferred.

Our Reading Literacy lesson is all about the book "Fox in Socks", and so foxes were rather important to this week's letter. If you can, watch the portion of "Milo and Otis" where Otis hangs out with the fox. My kids are always giggling at that point in the movie, and I think it showcases foxes really well.
