Decorate your plant parts drawing with the craft supplies you cut up.

Step 3

Using the various materials let your child decorate the picture while you help them name the parts and explain what they do. We used pieces of straw for the stem, because the plants use these parts to “suck up” nutrients and water. We used small squares of tissue paper scrunched for the petals. The leaves were colored with markers, and the roots were pipe cleaners. As an added element we used brown paper to make the soil portion of the picture.
