Flower petal soup is the perfect activity as summer fades. Our garden is beginning to droop as petals crinkle and seeds develop but there are still plenty of beautiful blooms to play with. All you need to encourage this activity is a water bin and a few kitchen utensils. All I had to say as a prompt was "let's make flower petal soup" and Lucy knew just what to do! She headed right to the garden and started gathering flowers.
A simiple invitation to play turned into 3 hours of fun and I am sure that we'll be doing it again soon!
