Learning with Printable Flower Templates

These free printable flower templates are available in three different sizes. After you download your copy of these templates, you can cut them out for your little learners to use later, or let them in on the fun for some extra practice mastering scissor skills.

Cutting helps children build finger muscles and hand strength for handwriting and everyday tasks like buttoning pants. tying shoes, and brushing teeth.

Beyond cutting practice and fine motor skills, these printable flower templates are a fun opportunity to explore learning about flowers and plants too. Use all three sizes together to create cute 3D flowers in a variety of colors. Here’s how:

Preschool Flower Craft Ideas

Three-Dimensional Flowers

What you’ll need

• Colorful cardstock or construction paper
• Embellishment or button for flower center
• Glue
• Scissors

Here’s how to do it

• Cut out three flowers in varying sizes. You can use the same color for each size or experiment with different colors too.
• Stack and glue the flowers together from largest to smallest with the smallest flower on top.
• Add an embellishment to the center of the flower on top to serve as your flower center. We like using colorful buttons for this part.

Your 3D flowers can be added to any art project or given as gifts. They’re perfect for a bulletin board!

Flower Spin Art

We used this Free Printable Flower Template to make flower spin art. You could easily make your own Spring garden wall display.

What you’ll need

• Salad Spinner
• Paint
• White cardstock

Here’s how to do it

• Use the flower template to cut out several flowers. We used the Large Flower templates for our flower spin art.
• Place the cut-out flowers in the salad spinner and then drip different colors of paint on top.
• Encourage your little kids to experiment with making different designs using the salad spinner.

Printable Flower Template Patterns

You can use these free printable flower templates for pattern practice too. Cut out several paper flowers in a variety of colors and sizes. Then, experiment with creating flower patterns together.

Begin by setting up a pattern and asking your little learners to choose what comes next. Then, once that skill is mastered, have your kids explore creating their own patterns with varying shapes and sizes.

Recognizing and creating patterns helps kids to understand the concept of making predictions. It’s an important way to help little learners prepare for more complex math equations in the future.

If your kids aren’t quite ready for patterns yet, you can experiment with another important early math concept: sorting. Help toddlers and preschoolers sort these paper flowers by size and/or color. Then, build counting skills and one-to-one correspondence by counting each flower together.

I bet you can think of a few more fun ways to use these free printable flower templates for early math practice, art projects, and all kinds of other learning fun too. Share your ideas in the comment section. I can’t wait to read them! Then, download your own printable flower templates for learning fun too.
