This creative Key Stage One resource supports children’s understanding of nature-inspired design, focusing on flower and plant motifs in everyday life.
It includes a detailed lesson plan with clear learning objectives, a list of materials needed, step-by-step instructions, extension ideas, and an assessment guide.
The activity encourages children to observe and record plant motifs around them — on furniture, fabrics, buildings, or natural objects — through drawing or photography.
It links to key areas of the curriculum: Art and Design, 2D shapes and pattern, Science (plants and nature), and Literacy through descriptive writing and discussion.
The pack also includes four supplementary worksheets:
- Design Your Own Flower or Plant Motif – children create a decorative design using shapes, pattern and colour.
- Find and Match Flower Patterns – a simpler EYFS/KS1 worksheet matching motifs to everyday objects.
- Repeating Plant Patterns – children identify and colour repeating patterns in a quilt-style design.
- Design Your Own Quilt – using a blank quilt outline, children apply their own plant motif pattern.
Perfect for classroom or outdoor learning, this resource builds observation skills, appreciation for design, and creative confidence through hands-on and visual tasks.
