I’ve been wanting to do some simple flower arranging with Frida for a while now. Frida loves flowers, and flower arranging felt like a perfect summer practical-life activity.
We often have fresh cut flowers in our home – a luxury, but one which I feel adds a valuable element of beauty into our environment.
I thought we would start off really simply today, with flowers, which Frida chose from the shop and I then trimmed, and a vase, which I had already filled for her.
This meant her focus was solely on the task of arranging the flowers into the vase.
Once Frida had filled the first vase, I provided her with more flowers and a second vase. Once that was done, she wanted to keep going, so she filled a small vase for the shelf in her playroom.
Frida was quite tired when I offered the activity to her (she hasn’t been talking naps for a while) and it went down very well. It’s such a soothing activity, beautiful and fragrant and peaceful, perfect for restoring calm.
Frida was so pleased with the results!
We distributed the vases throughout the house. I love the colours she chose.
In future I will expand the activity by including pouring water into the vases, and eventually, cutting and trimming the flowers.
this is beautiful Eloise. I love it. I will have to try this with Ripley
Oh do! X
