Boys and girls have an affinity for nature and a young gardener will bloom right in front of your eyes when presented with a flower gift. Although adults happily receive living flowers, children will appreciate floral stickers, growing kits, clothing or games much more. Take the time to explore flower colors and shapes to make a flower obsession a chance for greater learning. - Whether they are used to decorate notebooks, drinking cups, pet cages or your kitchen table, kids love receiving and using stickers. Flower stickers, whether realistic representations or illustrated, make thoughtful stocking stuffers or anytime gifts. An opportunity for art, encourage the use of stickers on drawings to inspire a garden scene or on homemade masks, stationary or letters to Grandma.
- Watching flowers grow from seed can be rewarding for children.seedling image by Wojciech Gajda from Fotolia.com
Encourage the botanist in your child with a flower growing kit. Widely available in springtime for gardeners of all ages, simple seed and soil kits only need water and a sunny window to begin the growing process. Make up a custom growing kit to include your child's favorite flowers such as sunflowers or put together flower seeds to attract butterflies to your child's outdoor garden plot. Monitor daily watering to ensure success with any growing kit. - Flower motif jewelry is available for kids as well as grown-ups.jewelry image by Byron Moore from Fotolia.com
Little girls like flower accessories and you can find a floral motif gift item in nearly any size and price range. Hair bows, necklaces, bracelets and rings are all available in bright colors and can make young girls feel all grown up.
T-shirts with sunny flowers on the front or embroidered floral details can dress up a pair of jeans on a child, and coordinating socks with large flower blooms and three dimensional petal details are adorable. Personalize a t-shirt by using a homemade iron-on image of a flower and adding the child's name to create a special treasured gift. - Flower coloring books offer opportunities to use bright colored crayons.drawing image by Renata Osinska from Fotolia.com
Kids love nothing more than a good toy, and flower-related entertainment provides innocent and colorful fun for boys and girls. Flower-themed coloring books are available for purchase and can teach kids the name of regional or common flowers they see in a home garden. Jigsaw puzzles and plush flower toys are welcomed gifts for small children and can inspire more interest in nature in the future. - Flower-related books for kids are available for all age-groups.Read to your Kid image by Maciej Zatonski from Fotolia.com
