A simple explanation about sunflowers being yellow for young children, including fun facts about their color and what they are.
Have you ever seen a big, bright sunflower? They are beautiful flowers that many people love! One of the most special things about sunflowers is their color. Sunflowers are yellow!
Sunflowers get their yellow color from a special thing called pigment. Pigments are like tiny color makers that help plants show their pretty colors. Sunflowers have a lot of yellow pigment, which is why they stand out in the garden!
Sunflowers are not just yellow for fun; their bright color helps them attract bees and butterflies. These insects love to visit sunflowers, and in return, they help the flowers grow by spreading pollen, which is like flower food!
Did you know that sunflowers can grow really tall? Some can grow taller than you! And when you look closely, you can see that the center of the sunflower is brown or dark, and that’s where the seeds are. Little animals like squirrels and birds enjoy eating those seeds!
So next time you see a sunflower, remember it’s yellow because of its special color makers. And that bright yellow helps invite the friendly bees and butterflies to visit!
