Materials:

• Leaves (various colors preferred) and Flowers
• Cloth (Light Color)
• Striking Instrument (Mallet or Hammer)

Directions:

• Put the leaves and Flowers out on the floor or counter. Put the cloth on top of the leaves and flowers. Then hit the cloth with the mallet until the leaves and Flowers are ground up. This will put a neat pattern on the cloth. If your brave you can let the children try it

Warning: Very Messy. Watch children with Mallets closely.

If you have the facilities make a real garden for your children in a small swimming pool (punch holes for drainage) They will love to work it just like it's a real flower garden.

Planting flowers, planting flowers
In the ground, in the ground,
Water them and they grow,
Water them and they grow,
All around, all around.

Have cookies in a flower shape as a snack. let your children put frosting on them to make their own unique flower. s
