This is an easy work to make, and the best part is you don't have to be a Crafty Cathy to make it! It's simple and fast! All you need is different color felt and sharp scissors!
Cut out 4 RED shapes that represent the corollas (petals).
Using GREEN felt, cut out the calyx
Using the YELLOW felt, cut out the stamen pieces.
Finally, using the rest of the GREEN felt, cut out the pistil.
Make labels for each of the parts, including a label for the Flower.
There's not doubt that children absolutely love nature. Once you have presented them the parts of the flowers, go outside (if appropriate) and find examples of each of the parts. If you have a microscope, have the child examine the different parts closely.
OPTIONAL: USE THIS WORDING WHEN PRESENTING TO THE CHILD
THE FLOWER IS USUALLY BRIGHTLY COLORED. SEEDS DEVELOP WITHIN IT.
THE COROLLAS (OR PETALS) ARE THE BRIGHTLY COLORED OUTSPREAD PARTS OF THE FLOWER.
THE STAMANS SURROUND THE PISTIL. EACH STAMEN BEARS A LITTLE POLLEN SAC.
THE PISTIL IS IN THE CENTER OF THE FLOWER. IT HAS AN OPENING IN THE TOP AND A TUBE TO CARRY THE POLLEN DOWN TO THE OVARY WHERE THE SEEDS DEVELOP.
THE CALYX IS THE GREEN PART THAT HOLDS THE FLOWER ALL TOGETHER.

Hey! This is great! Thanks for sharing. I thought to create a continent map from felt a few nights ago & was impressed how easy & effective it was. I'll def. be trying this :)
Hi, I found your blog from dandelions and ladybugs and love it! the felt flower is so great! I am hosting a childrens swap if your interested :)
Your work is beautiful. Except for the first letter in a proper noun or a sentence, I use lower case letters for labels. Beginning books that the children encounter will also use lower case letters.
I hope your summer is going well. Looking forward to more posts.
