Getting started
- Follow the petals around with a finger and count each once. Colour as you choose.
- For ages about 5-9 with an adult. These are stylised geometric drawings, not botanical sheets or ability tests. No cutting is needed; use pencils or colours suitable for the paper.
- Checkable answers: first flower, six petals; second, eight; page three, eight dots. Alternating two colours gives three petals of each colour in the six-petal flower and four in the eight-petal one.
- Choose a starting point for counting and return without counting it twice. Free drawing has no single solution. Enlarge a detail or leave areas uncoloured if you wish. Notes for next time
