Teaching tip
Using these worksheets in teaching
Repeating and rotating one petal around a centre makes radial symmetry visible. Tracing, cutting and arranging the shapes also practise pencil control, scissor skills and simple spatial planning.
Frequently asked questions
What materials do I need?
Coloured paper, scissors, glue and a pencil. Use a drinking straw or a rolled strip of green paper for the stem.
How does the template work?
Print one petal, one leaf and one centre at the correct scale. Trace the petal six times and the leaf twice, then cut one centre.
Can children make different flowers?
Yes. Change the petal shape, mix paper colours, layer a second smaller flower on top, or draw patterns before assembling it.
What age is this craft for?
Children from about five can place and glue the pieces. An adult should supervise or do the cutting for younger children.
