The Kew Gardens Flowering Plants Colouring Book: Over 40 Beautiful Illustrations Plus Colour Guides (Kew Gardens Arts & Activities)

Product Information

Either way, it's a fun chance to get creative at home or in the classroom, and taking part in colouring in gives kids a chance to create art that they can then proudly say they've made themselves, which encourages self-confidence and gives them a sense of achievement. Looking for more flower-related resources? If you need further lesson materials for teaching pupils about the basic structure of a variety of common flowering plants, then this Parts of a Plant PowerPoint is worth taking a look at. And these great resources can all be used at home by parents as well. Colouring is such a fun but simple activity that it's easy to encourage at home, too. This is great for supporting children's mental health both inside and out of the classroom. The flower outline drawing is also a handy resource for children to use in their sketchbooks. Why not use multiple copies to experiment with different artists’ media? Children can try and find which one best helps them to recreate the different shades and textures of a flower - or create something that looks totally removed from the flower’s natural origins.

Some children can be very expressive in words, whereas other prefer to use images and colours. Talk to your child about the colours they’re choosing and have a conversation about what’s going on in their head! You could also use these tree outlines to help kids create their own family tree. These Family Tree templates would be a helpful reference for this. Twinkl PlanIt offers award-winning lesson plans which are designed by Twinkl’s teachers to help you deliver the national curriculum. PlanIt offers full units, with each lesson building on the last - but each lesson can also stand alone, helping you to focus on a particular skill or topic. Find more PlanIt art units here.

What is mindfulness?

These Gardening Colouring sheets combine two great activities: colouring and being in the great outdoors. Depending on how frequently you do mindfulness practices can result in different effects and results! Every autumn, deciduous trees lose their leaves. Common deciduous trees include: oak, maple and beech. For example, our Focus Breathing for a Calm Classroom PowerPoint teaches students (and teachers, too!) how to practise mindfulness through concentrated breathing.
