How to grow a flower foldable sequencing activity cut and paste

Review the stages of growing flowering plants in a fun and memorable way with these flower foldouts. This science craft activity allows children to sequence 4 stages on a flower template, before cutting and folding. Use alongside growing plants in the classroom or as a spring science center.

The Templates

There are 4 similar templates to choose from so you can differentiate if required:

• Template 1: Children color the flower and the stages of how to grow one (pictures with descriptions). They then cut out the stages, sequence, glue, and fold.
• Template 2: As above but with a straight cutting edge around the flower.
• Template 3: Children color the flower and the stages of how to grow one (pictures). They then cut out the stages, match them to the words (first, next, then, last), glue, and fold.
• Template 4: As above but with a circle around the flower.

This activity encourages fine motor skills, is quick and easy to prep, and the finished foldouts can be placed in an interactive science notebook for reference.

There is also a writing sheet included (color and b/w) to use as an extension activity.
