A tiny plan for your day

Estimated time: 1 min to prepare · 8 min to pick · 1 min to pop in water. It's fine to stop early.

Before you start

What you’ll need

  • Your own lawn or garden, with daisies, dandelions and clover
  • An egg cup or tiny jar of water

Let's begin

Five simple steps

That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.

  1. Look for little flowers growing in the grass.

  2. Pick a few, leaving plenty for the bees.

  3. Together

    Hold them together like a mini bouquet.

  4. Pop them in water.

  5. Give your posy to someone, or put it by your bed.

All done!

That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
