About This Product
If you’ve ever seen a child pick a flower, you know two things: 1) It may or may not still have a stem, and 2) It’s always given with love. This “Write a Story: Picking Flowers” Mother’s Day Activity invites students to imagine and write a sweet (or delightfully silly) story about gathering flowers for Mom.
Will their story involve a magical garden, a sneaky squirrel, or a bouquet made entirely of dandelions and dreams? Anything goes! This activity encourages creativity, storytelling, and appreciation, all wrapped up in a floral theme that doesn’t require watering.

Independent writing activity during Mother’s Day week
