One day after playing in our backyard all morning, D came inside the house looking for me with a flower from our hosta plant. She wanted know the what the name of those inner thread like things are. So I pulled out our botany flower puzzle, the nomenclature cards and book (the ones that were collecting dust for while!) and let her explore and find out the answer herself.
 |
| Here she arranged the various puzzle pieces under the part cards. |
 |
| Then I helped her to carefully dissect the flower so she could match the real parts with the cards. |
 |
| She read the booklet to understand the funtions. |
 |
| Then she drew, colored and labelled the parts of the flower. |
love how she this initiated this exploration, i can imagine the excitement. what luck that you had everything on hand!
