There are so many flowers blooming all around us at this time of year. It's a great time to add to your child's nature journal. One idea is to dissect different types of flowers, learn the parts of the flowers and what makes them each unique.
For example did you know a Calla Lily is considered a "naked" flower because it has no petals or sepals? Or that a Tiger Lily is considered a "monocot" because it's petals are in multiples of three?

Have fun and enjoy the beauty all around!
