Looking at flowers closely can be exceptionally cool. Many flowers catch the attention of pollinators, inviting them in. This tends to make flowers eye-catching and intriguing for humans to admire, too. It can be fun to compare colors and shapes of flowers and check out the living things on flowers that may be pollinating them. This card deck will guide learners through the different colors, markings, shapes, smells, and phases of flowers; it does not provide information on identifying specific flower names, except for encouraging learners to use local flower guides or apps, such as Seek or iNaturalist, to learn flower names. Self-guided activity, best for learners 6-years-old and older, or younger learners with adult support. Materials:
