The study of the natural world is the foundation for the later study of science.
The colouring of pictures of natural things, be it plants or animals is more than a pastime activity. It is a means of familiarising young children with these everyday subjects.
The colouring of this Daffodil picture can of course be used as a pastime, or even as part of a creative lesson - the picture looks super made into a spring greeting card of all kinds. But it has the potential to teach much more.
The UK National Curriculum for Science expects children to be taught to use the local environment to study plants and animals, throughout the year. What better than to use familiar subjects - such as the Daffodil, which are so common in springtime, to teach much about the natural world?
Colouring can help children to become familiar with the parts of the Daffodil: ask questions: Where are the petals? What is this part called?
Colouring a picture of Daffodils can also help children to become familiar with the particular characteristics of a flower - its shape, colour, and special features, for example.
It is best if children colour the Daffoldil picture following close observation, or from reference books, or after having looked at Daffodils in real life. Why not take a bunch into the classroom and watch the buds unfold? Write a Daffodil diary. You could even use our Daffodil Lesson Resource Pack and PowerPoint to extend the lesson!
