A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 4 min to make · 5 min to squish · 1 min to tidy. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- A strong zip-lock freezer bag
- Clear hair gel or a little oil and water
- Small, flat leaves and petals
- Strong tape
Let's begin
Five simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
- Little one leads
Your child pops leaves and petals into the bag.
- Grown-up job
An adult adds the gel and seals it, squeezing out the air.
Tape all edges firmly to a low, sunny window.
Squish, poke and push the leaves around.
Can you make the leaves swim to the top?
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
