While the Draw a Flower Based on an Algorithm page displays pictures for each of the steps, children could draw whatever flower they like. Yes, there will be children who want to draw the flower to match the steps. However, there will be some that don’t want their flower parts to look like the algorithm. It will be up to you to decide how rigid or loose you want to be with the drawing.
