- Identified the parts of a flower (petals, stem, leaves)
- Described the color, shape, and size of the flower
- Used descriptive words to talk about the flower (e.g. pretty, small, delicate)
- Asked questions about the flower (e.g. What kind of flower is this? Where does it grow?)
- Used senses to observe the flower (e.g. smelled the flower, touched the petals)
- Used imagination to create a story or poem about the flower
Encourage continued development by:
- Encouraging the child to write a story or poem about the flower they observed
- Asking the child to draw a picture of the flower and label its parts
- Going on a nature walk and looking for other types of flowers to observe and describe
- Reading books about flowers and discussing the different types and their characteristics
