Flower Badge
FLOWER BADGE
It was great seeing the girls today! We were able to work on some of the requirements of the flower badge. The Girl Scouts made a bookmark from flower petals and pieces of nature. They then had the opportunity to put together a floral vase to enjoy at home. Lastly, they were able to have a little fall fun and painted a pumpkin to celebrate the founder of Girl Scouts.
If you have an opportunity, here are some ideas on how to extend the badge with your daughter:
1. Visit a garden center and explore flowers
2. Plant bulbs this fall that will blossom in the spring and/or plant some herbs inside of the house that you can enjoy throughout the winter
3. Take a look at the Birthday Flower Chart and talk about what flower is linked up to their birth month (See Chart Below)
4. If you have some flowers at home, let your daughter look underneath the leaves and analyze what the petals look like.
5. We didn't have a chance to talk about what a botanist does, but please have this conversation with your daughter and share what a botanist does.
6. Some questions to ask your daughter:
- Do you have a favorite flower? What is it and why?
- How do flowers help people?
- Would you like to grow flowers inside or outside and why?
- Where and when do you think it is okay to pick flowers.
