Flower arranging

Some afternoon purposeful work, flower arranging using flowers from the garden.

The little one loves putting flowers in a vase. Great for talking about growth, the garden, colour recognition, shape, size, quantity, texture and practising using scissors.

She always cuts them very short though lately, so rather than keep trying to instruct her to cut them longer and her lose her self esteem and confidence I just give her a smaller vase....an old jar! Works a treat and I can leave her to it!

The flowers have brightened up the playroom no end on this rainy May Day
