May is the month were flowers are coming up everywhere. They are beautiful to see and smell. I know children love to pick flowers and I totally understand the urge, to possess something so beautiful. The problem, of course, is that once picked, the flower immediately begins to die and then we cant enjoy it any more. I talk to the children about roots and how flowers need their roots and leaves to make food to survive and by picking them, the flower cant make food anymore. Please encourage your child to enjoy the flowers where they grow and not to pick them. If we leave them where they are, they will be there for us to enjoy tomorrow. Allowing your child to take a picture of the flower is a great way for them to share the flower with others without picking it.
Thank you to the flowers for being so beautiful and smelling so sweet.
