Madeline Flower Activity for Math
There are twelve girls in the story Madeline, you see it over and over again. It’s the perfect time to talk about a dozen. There are two times you talk about a dozen with either eggs and with flowers. I thought it might be a lot of fun for the kids to recreate a dozen with flowers. In the story there is a part where all of the girls bring flowers to Madeline in the hospital.
It’s something we want to teach our kids to do when someone it not feeling well to brighten their day. Plus giving flowers is a way to show someone you are thankful for them, perfect for this time of year.
So let’s create some spiral paper flowers!
- 12 Sheets of Colorful Scrapbook Paper
- Hot Glue {adult tasks}
- Scissors
- Paper Straws
- Vase or Container
- Glass Beads
2. {Adult Task} Warm up glue gun or use heavy craft glue.
6. **Adults** then use hot glue to place on the remainder circle and attached the formed flower from the paper that’s been rolled.
Once you make your first few flowers it gets pretty easy. Making paper flowers is something I’ve done with years with my kids and even when I was a kid. If you need more help with making your flowers search out on Pinterest Spiral Paper Flower Tutorial . If you want to get a little bit fancier Check out on Amazon a Cricut and the Flower Shoppe Cartridge .
How to Play Madeline Flower Game
Once your spiral paper flowers are complete it’s time to play! Take the flowers and encourage your child to place them into the container. To help them flowers stand up you can place glass beads or rocks at the bottom. If you’re hosting a book club you could even have the kids recreate the scene in the story where they bring the flowers in one by one.
Create Math Facts for your child to solve using the flowers for older kids.
