Project Summary:
Spring time and summer time are wonderful seasons for exploration in the garden or on public nature trails. This sensory flower table project is an easy way to enable children to delight in exploring the vibrant colours and beautiful aromas of the flowers and trees that are growing in our natural environment.

| Materials: |
| An outdoor table |
| A bucket |
| Containers to display the flowers |
| A mug, water and a spoon |
Step 1 – Collect flowers and leaves
Under adult supervision, giving children a bucket is a simple and great way to enable them to explore their surroundings by allowing them to collect a selection of flowers and leaves.
Step 2 – Display the flowers
When the children have completed their nature trail, they will enjoy laying out the flowers that they have collected within containers. A good colour matching exercise is to ask the children to display their flowers by placing similar colours within the same container.
Step 3 – Experiment with perfume
A great way to enable children to explore the different aromas of flowers, under adult supervision, is to give them a mug filled with water and a spoon. They can choose different flower petals and mix them into the water to make their very own flower petal perfume.
