Thank you to April Larremore and Stephanie Pollard for this cute idea! The kids loved making these 3 dimensional flower diagrams. Green straws make the stems and cupcake papers make the flower. Sunflower seeds are glued in the middle of the cupcake paper. I also had the kids break apart one seed and put part of the shell down in the soil to represent where the plant sprouted from. Any kind of seed could be used.
we do something similar in first grade.. we watch certain plants grow.. this is a great blog.. come see mine.. it is http://talesfromak-1classroom.blogspot.com

This project was great with my first grade and Pre-K homeschooling kids. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWe do the exact same thing! One of my teammates got it from a friend at a school she used to work with and shared it with us! Funny how good ideas get passed around!

I would absolutely LOVE to do this with my first graders! What glue do you use that holds the straws and seeds when the pictures are upright? I know all my students have glue sticks but I don't think it would hold! Thanks for this great idea!
