You Can Learn Alot of Things From the Flowers!


This is a VERY fun way to pick a song or teach a Sharing Time lesson. Primary children can learn about how to choose the right and treat others with love and kindness by WEEDING out bad choices!

A child comes up and chooses a flower from the vase.

It will either have a Heart - Star - or....WEED entwined on the stem with a message or action that is either SHINING (star)...LOVING(heart) or....MEAN & PRICKLY (weed)


  • You'll need a dark vase (or a clear one that has colored paper inside)
  • Flowers with bendable ends
  • (I purchased these flowers from the $1 section of the big red bullseye store!)
  • Yucky green colored felt
  • black pipe cleaners (hot glued on the back of the weeds)
  • green or bright colored pipe cleaners
  • wiggle eyes
  • black foam (for the ANGRY eyebrows!)
  • hot glue gun to make everything stick!
  • Hearts and Stars cut out from foam sheets with a loving or shining example of how to treat others
  • The weeds....have 2 black pipe cleaners glued to their backside
  • The bottom tip of the stem is folded up securing the star or heart or weed!
Sing: "Kindness Begins With Me"...or "I'll Walk With You"...or "Love One Another"
Have fun learning from the FLOWERS!
