Wow we entered into April!

Finally it’s an okay time to wait for spring! 🤪

(Although it’s snowing outside right now.)

As we get close to the end of April, we will get more warm days.

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you are waiting for spring? 

It’s flowers on a sunny day for me! 

Do you have plants or flowers around your house? 

I have snowdrops and tulips on our front yard.

But this year, I want to see daffodils, so I’m gonna go to a garden centre and get some daffodils.

Daffodil is one of the earliest spring flowers and it’s definitely the sign of spring.

So, in the first week of April, waiting for spring, I would like to introduce an activity about daffodils. 😊⚘⚘

Here are some facts about daffodil.

Making Daffodil

I recommend playing the daffodil video while your child is making daffodils with play-dough. It will help your child focus and be in the mood for creating own daffodils.😊
