HERE ARE 5 FUNABC FLOWER SAFARI BOOKPROJECTS FOR KIDS CREATED BY WILLOWDAY FRIENDS TO HELP MAKE THIS EASIER! LET’S GO.
Part of the spark behind creating, myABC Flower Safari book ,was the wish to give adults and kids one easy place to connect and to share creativity.As a parent and a teacher, I have seen how learning ABC’s can be an experience both rich in learning and in playful discovery, too.
Through the use of real flowers and ordinary cardboard to create A-Zflower animalsfor every letter of the alphabet —- “F is for Fir Fox, O is for Oxypetal Owl, P is for Peony Pig” —learning and imaginative conversationcan come through sharing book time and then creating a craft together.

ORGANISE
AN”INVITATION-TO-CREATE” ART “WORKSHOP
Ami fromHandmakery curated anABC Flower Safarigallery show and created an event for kid creators inspired by the book in her Aspen studio. I am head over heels with her results.Ami set up the Handmakery studio, with ample images from the book on the walls and table, for children to use cardboard, paper, paint, and flowers to create their very ownmasterpieces inspired by the artwork from myABC Flower SafaribookMORE here.
PS. Note. Through a table set to envoke creativity, Ami shared that the kids choose themselves what they would make inspired by the artwork from theABC Flower Safari. Paint and cardboard transformed in the young creatives hands to become scenes of, flower animal monograms, flower animals and name plates. Fabric flower variation work very well when working with a group or don’t have access (or want to bother with) fresh flowers. Plus: these Flower Monograms can be kept to decorate rooms on and on!
