Drying Flowers
Drying flowers can be enjoyed by people of most any
age. The flowers are fun to gather, fun to dry, and they add beauty to
your home – or your child’s room.
Flowers that work best for drying purposes include
rosebuds, Strawflowers, Baby’s Breath, Yarrow, Chinese Lantern and feathery
Celosia. Simply pick flowers as close to the ground as possible.
Next, tie with twine in bunches and hang upside down in a dry area that
is free of drafts.
You can use the dried flowers to create a number of
beautiful crafts with your child, from potpourri to table displays.

Make a Tin-Can Telephone
You’ll need 2 empty tin cans with one side cut out
smooth, and some long string.
Amazingly enough, this apparatus really works! Carefully
stick a hole in the end of each can. Attach the string. Talk into
the can, then when your child talks, hold the can to your ear to listen.
See how far the sound travels by increasing the distance
between you and your child. See what happens if you run your ‘telephone’
around a corner.
