Well, here’s what we did with the flowers we collected and since it was a rainy morning after the day we collected the flowers, it was an enjoyable indoor activity! 🙂

What you need for the activity:

a sheet of drawing block
two pieces of masking tape
some flowers

I stuck two pieces of masking tape on a piece of drawing block, with most of the sticky side up and her task was to stick the flowers onto the tape.

It kept her busy for awhile:

Now don’t go plucking all the flowers from your neighbourhood plants after this post coz these flowers we collected were already on the ground! 🙂

Let your little one venture around and see what you both can find on your little nature trail!

She ran round in search of more flowers and leaves that were on the ground and played with them in her way:
