Flower Theme Week Supplies List

Here is the list of items you'll need if you choose to follow along with all of the activities we will be doing for Flower Week. Remember that some items may be in your house already (if you hoard supplies like me), and I try really hard to get a majority of my supplies at my local dollar store. I will put an asterisk (*) next to any item that I usually can find at my Dollar Tree.

Basic supplies to have on hand for this and any future Theme Weeks:
toilet paper/paper towel tubes
straws*
file folders*
glue sticks*
child size scissors* (preferably one for each child)
markers/crayons/colored pencils/etc*
hole punch*
binder rings*
cardstock and copy paper
laminating machine and laminating pouches (optional but highly recommended)
buttons*
stickers*
pipe cleaners*
dry erase markers*
pompom balls*
paper plates*
large shallow plastic tub to use as a sensory bin

Supply list for Flower Week:
magnifying glass* (preferably one for each child)
3-5 packets of various seeds*
food coloring*
vases* (preferably one for each child)
small thongs or tweezers* (big enough to pinch a pompom ball)
child size garden tools or sandbox tools*
gardening gloves*
silk flowers* (I picked one bunch of each color of the rainbow)
small pots or cups* (I just am going to use empty frosting containers)
plastic strainer*
wood skewers*
Play-doh (or make your own)
pinto beans (enough to fill the bottom of your large plastic tub)

inexpensive bouquet of various real flowers

Suggested food list for theme snacks and meals:
