About these parts of a flower worksheets

These parts of a flower worksheets use one big, detailed flower drawing with a round center, a ring of petals, a curving stem, two leaves and a bud. Kindergartners learn four parts they can see and touch: the petal, the center, the stem and the leaf.

Start with the parts of a flower chart, then label the flower from a word bank or cut out the words and glue them in place. The color by part page names a crayon for each part. A next steps page adds two new words, pollen and bud, for children who are ready.

The bee story is a short read-aloud with picture questions. It shows how a bee carries pollen from flower to flower so the flower can make seeds.

Standards

  • NGSS K-LS1-1Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.
  • NGSS 2-LS2-2Grade 2, introduced early: develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants.
  • NGSS 4-LS1-1Grade 4, introduced early: construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
  • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.K.2Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose informative/explanatory texts in which they name what they are writing about and supply some information about the topic.
  • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.K.6Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, reading and being read to, and responding to texts.

How to use them

  1. Look at a real flower first. Daisies, sunflowers and tulips show the parts clearly; count the petals together.
  2. Use the chart, then the label it or cut and paste page, then the color page.
  3. Read the bee story aloud and let children circle the answers.
  4. Save the next steps page for children who ask about the yellow dust in the middle.

Teaching tips

  • Pollen is the yellow dust on the center of a flower. It can rub off on a nose or a finger.
  • A bud is a flower that has not opened yet. Watch one open over a few days.
  • If a child mixes up the stem and the leaf, ask which part holds the flower up.
  • Bees visit flowers for sweet nectar, and pollen sticks to their fuzzy bodies.

Questions teachers and parents ask

What are the parts of a flower for kindergarten?

The petals, the center, the stem and the leaves. Older children add pollen, the yellow dust on the center, and the bud, a flower that has not opened yet.

Are pistil and stamen taught in kindergarten?

Not usually, so these pages leave them out. The next steps page adds only pollen and bud, two words young children can see on a real flower.

Do the pages have answer keys?

Yes. The label it, cut and paste, next steps and bee story pages each have an answer key on page 2.
