Flowers

Flowers are a natural material that produce seeds and help plants reproduce. They come with many different colours, shapes and smells. Children are attracted to them because of their intricate and delicate beauty.

Many childcare services have flowering plants in their outdoor areas, which can provoke questions and investigations into flowers. The changes in outdoor environments teach children about seasons.

The Interest Forest

The Interest Forest was created by a small team of Australian early childhood teachers. We believe in less paperwork and more play.

We have collected hundreds of children's interests, linked to the EYLF, to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your program. We hope you enjoy exploring our Forest of interest topics.
