Flower Crown

• Framework: IPC
• Unit: Flowers and Plants
• Learning area: General

Materials

• Paper plates
• Coloured construction paper
• Simple flower shape stencils
• Paint
• Markers and crayons
• Scissors
• Glue
• Glitter and ribbons

Instructions

Prepare paper plates before the lesson by cutting four slits through the centre, leaving about an inch at the edges. Bend the triangular sections upward to create leaf-like shapes that form the crown's peaks.

Distribute plates and guide children to paint their crown base in any colour of their choosing. Allow paint to dry completely before proceeding.

Provide simple flower stencils and coloured construction paper. Demonstrate tracing a flower shape and cutting it out carefully. Encourage children to create multiple flowers of different sizes and colours. Invite them to also design one unique flower of their own invention to place prominently on their crown.

Guide children to glue their flowers onto the crown. Once flowers are attached, offer additional decorating materials: glitter for sparkle, ribbons for trailing embellishments, and markers for adding details. Encourage creativity and self-expression throughout.

Conclude by having each child wear their crown and describe their design choices. Celebrate the beautiful variety of crowns created.

Assessment

Observe each child's ability to follow multi-step instructions to complete their flower crown.
