Parts of a Flower Free Resources

May 12, 2016 By Thaleia 3 Comments

May’s Kindergarten Blog Hop is here! This month our theme is Flowers. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks at our house so I decided to throw together a post for free resources for parts of the flower. You can use these free resources for any age preschool to older elementary. If your child is flower crazy like mine then you will want to make your own DIY Flower Press!

I printed off a 3 page worksheet that turns into a book about the parts of a flower for Big Red to color, read, and cut out. I found this free printable book from Worksheet place.

Your heart beat can tell you many things and this is what makes exploring heart rate and pulse a great activity. My husband has owned a stethoscope for some time and the kids are never allowed to play with it. Yes, we own those kiddie plastic ones but it is so much more fun to play with the real thing!

Sometimes a good Science lesson just seems to fall into your lap or neighbor’s yard. I hear mom’s complain about the mess of Science experiments. I know some are worried if they are studying enough or the right stuff. Well, today we got to view two very special species of insects: cicada and praying mantis.

40 + Resources for Rocks and Minerals

We homeschool on an almost zero budget so those items are way out of the question. Disclosure: I have used affiliate links which add no cost to you but help support our blog and our homeschool.
