How would you make the activity more inclusive? Principles of universal design
Number 7 – size and space – the children need to be able to glue the bun case in the centre of their flower, so they need to draw the flower big enough.
How would you adapt the activity to suit outside/inside?
I would bring the children outside and let them pick daffodils, also they could place their daffodils in pots and have them outside (in a sheltered area).
Simplify this activity:
The children could place the bun case on the paper and draw the petals out from it.
