April Showers bring May flowers.......and flower lapbooks too! We're soooo excited to get started on our Flowers Lapbook, it's the perfect time of year to go exploring outdoors and learn more about all the wonderful plants and flowers that God has created.

Flowers and Plants is a huge topic, there are so many angles you can explore with your children, so you might want to come up with a list of things you want your child to learn from this experience. (I believe these are called objectives or rubrics, in the professional world!)

You can find many free unit studies online to give you an idea of objectives, or even a nice outline to follow!

So here is a list of links to get you started with your Flower Lapbooks, be sure and download the attached files at the bottom, these are some freebies you can use, including a Flower Layer book, Flower Anatomy, and Plant Anatomy!

How to participate:

Search the web and find your links for free resources (if you have the time)Take a second to visit other participants blogs to make sure you don’t duplicate links Grab our graphic, and post your blog entry with your links Come back here and sign Mr. Linky and add a direct link to your blog post (not a link to you hompage on you blog, but a link to your actual post….permalink works and if you need help doing this, just email me) After your child finishes their lapbook, Edit your original blog entry to add your pictures and such. For example see Melissa’s blog entry she did, she added the finished entry to the bottom of the post. When you do this it keeps it easy for people to find your links and your lapbook, and if you do it this way, I’ll be able to archive your link on my site and send even more traffic your way! Then, since you’ve already added your link to Mr. Linky (the permalink to the same post) all you need to do is post a comment and let us all know that your lapbook is finished! And then, we’ll come scurrying by the truckloads to see what your little one did!

The crafts and activities we did are posted on my personal blog as well

If there's something specific that I left out, please let me know, I think I got all the freebie links up, and the rest was from the A-z's freebie week..... but you know how that goes....wish I was a bit more organized.

I just wanted to share that we won't be doing the flower/plant lapbook because we are working on a butterfly lapbook for this month for we are studying butterflies but, we do hope to participate in the lapbook for June.
