Flowers!

At this meeting, we learned all about flowers to earn our flower patch!

 

We watched a short movie about flowers first.

 

 

Then we learned and sang a song about the parts of a flower.

The girls thought this was fun.  We also teamed up with my Daisy troop to do this.

 

Then we actually had different parts of a flower using vegetables.  The girls got a plate full and had to make a flower using the vegetable as the different parts.

 

They got it pretty quickly. The carrots were the roots.  The celery was the stem.  The lettuce were the leaves and the broccoli and the cauliflower were the flowers. We also had sunflower seeds as seeds.

The girls thought this was fun and then they got to eat it! What a nice healthy snack!

 

After that, we researched different types of flowers to teach each other about them.

 

At the end of the meeting, the girls even got to choose a flower to take home!
