Here are a few ways you could reuse these patriotic flowers:
Math
Patterning- You could pattern by the color red, blue, white.
Counting- You could count 1,2,3 and on or skip count by two’s, three’s or four’s.
Word problems- You could make up stories about gathering, arranging or sharing them that involve word problems.
Writing
Rhyming- You could make a list of words that rhyme with red, white or blue.
Story Writing- You could write a fiction story about where the flowers came from.
Pretend Play
Plant a flower garden between seat cushions.
Set up a pretend flower shop and display them in fun vases that you craft with orange juice cans or toilet paper tubes.
Set them in a shoebox and hang them under your child’s window for indoor window boxes.
Work on Good Character Traits
As you pass them to your child or have them pass them to you share something you like about them.
Practice sharing them with stuffed animals.
Write a kind note for neighbors and deliver them with the flowers.
Outdoor Play
Use them like a baton in a relay race.
Stick them in the ground and have your children run around the yard like little bees. They have to visit each flower once.
Great ideas for the kids! Love the outdoor play tip!

All cool ideas. How do you come up with all this. Oh yeah, you were a teacher! Your son is lucky!
Great ideas! I love the things that you share regarding education.
I’ve used flowers mostly in art projects, like weaving into crowns or cutting the petals apart and stringing them on laces for leis.
You are so creative!!! Excellent ideas!
