Science to Art: Daffodil 3d craft picture

After our nature walk and observing daffodils we made a daffodil card for Mother's Day .

All you need is:-

yellow baby pouch lids of other yellow bottle tops

Yellow paper/ post-it notes

Green straws

Backing card

Double sided foam tape ( for extr 3D effect) or glue

Patterned tape or paper (optional)

To make it easier I attached the double sided foam to the items and all he had to do was stick them in the right place.

Ours kept falling off so you made need to glue them too after the task.

This is a good Science -> Art project where we linked a nature walk to a piece of art.

A-Z Science: O for Observation: Daffodil nature walk

This post is part of the A-Z series that we follow from Inspiration Laboritories 

http://inspirationlaboratories.com/o-is-for-observation-skills/

O is for Obsrvation.

We went for a walk to the shops and then the park and on the way I showed Dylan my three year old what a daffodil was and he wanted to pick one. I don't usually but I thought to build on his excitement and curiosity we will. 

Sowhen we got back we put them in a vase and  observed how it changed over the next couple of days until it opened. 

I told him we need to put them in water and we need to make sure they have sunlight. 

I asked him to predict was was going to happen. He said its hoinv to open up into a yellow flower.

I might get him to draw a before and after picture but he is still a little reluctant to draw objects and just likes to doodle.

After a few days we noticed they had opened and we observed them and he did draw a beautifu Picture .

He also made 3D daffodil cards for his two nannies for Mother's Day.
