Craft: Cupcake-liner flower (paper cupcake liners, green paper stem, card, glue stick, crayons), with a grown-up. Snack: Yogurt Parfait (swap: Yogurt → oat yogurt), recipe at peabody.kids/kitchen/yogurt-parfait. Outside: Walk and count the flowers you see. Smell one, look closely, and leave it growing.
This week: flowers
A flower week for twos to fours: petals, stems and roots, colors and smells, and looking closely without picking.
Our letter is F: F is for flower.
Our song is “Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary”. The words are below, so you can sing it at home.
Our books: Meg and the Seed, The Red Hat, The Bean in the Cup. The ones marked free can be read at peabody.kids, no sign-in.
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary
Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells, And pretty maids all in a row.
