flowers in my backyard

Welcome to my backyard! I love just hanging out in my backyard, and looking at and smelling the flowers. What’s your favourite flower?

turn it up!

This is my favourite song to sing when I’m hanging in the backyard!

make a my little posie

Go outside (if you can) and pick some flowers or herbs to make a ‘my little posie’. You can upcycle an old jar or tin to use for your vase. Here are some cosy posy ideas to get you started. It can be a big one or a teeny tiny one! You could put it on your kitchen bench, or in your bedroom.

nature detective mission

And here’s your take away mission …next time you go outside take a pic or make a video of a flower you see. You can post your pic on social media and use the hashtags #dirtgirlworld #iamoutside to make sure I discover it! Or you can post it on the Kinderling Kids Radio and dirtgirlworld Facebook pages.
