Window Box Planter With Four Different Flowers

A long rectangular planter holds four flowers standing in a row, each one different. On the far left is a five-petal flower with a fuzzy, textured center and two pointed leaves at its base. Next to it is a smaller flower with ruffled, notched petals and a small round center, sitting on a thin stem. The third is a tulip with a cup-shaped bloom and pointed tips, with two leaves curving up beside the stem. On the right, another five-petal flower with a fuzzy center leans on a bent stem next to a single long leaf. The planter has a wide top band and a tapered base, which leaves plenty of room for coloring. Try giving each flower its own color family so kids can talk about how the petal shapes differ, then fill the planter with a terracotta brown. This free printable works well for preschoolers who are still building crayon control on big shapes.
