Follow the life cycle of a seed with these colorful sequencing cards. (Black and white cards are also included.) *This set now includes a digital Easel activity so that students can sequence the pictures on their own devices* This is a sample from my "Taking Care of Plants" Science Unit There are several ways that you can use these pictures: ✿ The students can cut out the pictures and then glue them onto paper in the correct order. ✿ Cut the pictures out ahead of time and laminate them. Mix up the cards and have the students sequence them. ✿ Print two sets of the pictures, cut them out and laminate them. Use the pictures to play a matching game. (If the students find two of the same picture they have a “match” and get to keep the cards. Play until all the pairs are found.) This game works well when played with a partner.

Learn how to press flowers in the microwave and make a flower mask. The dried flowers will look vibrant and takes minutes to dry. The flower mask is a great nature craft. Make sure you check out this flower bookmark tutorial This post may contain affiliate links. Thanks for supporting Sisters, What! I have a new handicraft project for you today! This time we're doing a nature edition. This is quite a simple handicraft but still has so many possibilities. And while drying flowers is as simple as pressing in a book, I'm sharing a different, modern approach using the microwave. >>>NEW STICKERS in my shop!! Check them out!<<< My daughter received a plain mask in a craft kit for her birthday. She finally decided she wanted to decorate it but wasn’t sure what she should do. Our wild flowers are in full bloom in such vibrant oranges and yellows. I suggested we dry some and then she could decorate her mask with those. >>Also, update, we recently made these beautiful pressed flower bookmarks with this same microwave method! You May Also Enjoy: Dried Flower Bookmark Other Handicrafts Series Projects How to Paint Nature Animals Nature Scavenger Hunt Now speaking of flower pressing, we have done the in the book for weeks as well as an actual flower press. However, last summer we discovered the technique of drying flowers in the microwave. Yep, the microwave. It is so quick AND the flower are amazingly more vibrant than when we have before dried them in books. We actually still dry flowers in books for the beauty of finding it later unexpectedly, but microwave flower pressing is our new go to method. It’s very easy to do and requires things you already have in your kitchen. However, if you really want to invest and get fancy, you can find a microwave flower presser on Amazon. Maybe we’ll invest in one eventually, but for now our method works great. We did actually burn one flower, but I figured out that I just did it a little too long. How to Press Flowers in the Microwave and make a Flower mask Supplies: Paper towels or tea towels Heavy cooking dishes Freshly picked flowers or for the crafts sake - you can buy some dried flowers Mask Modge Podge Step 1: Place your flowers on two towels in the position you want. You may need to force the flowers to stay open before placing two towels on top. Step 2: Place heavy dish on top. Make sure all flowers are covered and flattened by dish. Place carefully in microwave Step 3: Microwave Flowers Microwave for 1 minute. Then take off cooking dish. Then microwave in 30 second intervals. Check after each one to see if they are dry yet. If you do it too long, it could burn the flowers, like I did. Take them out when they’re dried! Step 4: Making the mask Using modge podge, add some onto the mask first then gently place the flowers on. We did generous amounts of modge podge so the flowers could adhere well. After the modge podge has dried, add another coat on top.
