Look for different types of plants in different growth stages.
Go for a flower walk and see how many you can count.
If this is too easy, see if you can count just one specific color OR keep a chart tracking how many different colored flowers you can find on your block.
We will be planting our own seeds soon!

Step 1: Picking the Right Flowers
Freshness is the key. Choose flowers that are either still in bud form, or that are freshly bloomed. If you’re picking them from a garden, do so in the morning right after the dew has evaporated.
Once you have chosen the flowers you would like to press, they need to be prepped. If you can’t press them right away, place them in a ziplock bag and store them in the refrigerator. When you are ready to press, there are a few steps to take to ensure the flowers keep their color and freshness:
To press flowers, you must dry them out as quickly as possible to prevent browning. There are a number of different types of paper you can use to accomplish this, such as printer paper, flat cardboard, plain non-treated facial tissue or even non-corrugated coffee filters. Avoid paper towels, as many have textures that may end up imprinted on the petals.
Step 3: Press Flowers Using a Book
This is likely the most popular way to press flowers, as it is also the easiest. Choose the heaviest book you can find, such as a dictionary or phone book. The moisture being absorbed will cause the pages to wrinkle, so use a book you don’t mind damaging.
