The perks of flower arranging with your toddler

A lovely activity to bond with your child and develop their skills. Teach them care for their environment whilst exploring new words and concepts.

Activities

  • Flowers
  • Jar
  • Water
  • Scissors
  • Cloth (to clean up if necessary)
  • Toddler
  • How do the flowers look, feel, or smell?
  • Are there large petals or lots of small flowers?
  • What colours can you see? Describe the shades or hues

🌻 Tip: Place a bit of masking tap on the jar to mark where they should stop pouring.

Benefits

  • Flower names
  • Colours
  • Smells
  • Size
  • Cutting
  • Pouring
  • Arranging
  • Understanding
  • Paying attention
  • Following instructions
  • Speaking

Alternatives

  • Use wild flowers if you do not have fresh flowers. Make the most of a walk with you child and have them pick what flowers they like, but only take what you need.
  • Mix and match the activity depending on your child abilities and interests.
