Blossom Tree Craft

The Tree Blossom Craft is a fun resource for young children to complete; as part of science about trees/plants, to welcome spring, or simply to put into practice their fine motor skills!

Ways to use the Tree Blossom Craft Activity:

It can be used for art class, or for the study of trees/spring.

It is best if the children's attention has been drawn to trees in blossom first as then the activity will be more meaningful to them.

Work could then extend to the work of insects/bees to pollinate the flowers - and then intrigue fostered to find out what happens next. A tree could then be studied and visited again to see the fruits appearing. The study of nature is the beginning of the study of science. A good teacher will take full advantage of every opportunity to guide her/his pupils to learn from it.
