This school year we have undertaken a wildflower project. During the first part of the school year before autumn took full force we went exploring around our neighborhood and on a farm to find different wildflowers. When spring arrived we went searching again, but didn’t find anything new. Our latest search revealed several new flowers. Once we picked the flowers with the leaves attached we took them home and looked in a book called Ontario Wildflowers: 101 Wayside Flowers
When we did identify a flower my son wrote the name of the flower on the top of a blank sheet of paper and then the flower was taped to the paper and squished between books for a couple days. Once the flower was pressed we arranged them alphabetically into a notebook with clear page protectors.
This is a very inspiring post! Let’s teach our children to be inspired with nature.
what a neat idea! =)
