Leo the late bloomer

The Leo the Late Bloomer Flower Craftivity is a cute craft to celebrate all students have learned and can do at the end of the school year. In this project, students create flowers showing they have "bloomed" just like Leo from "Leo the Late Bloomer" by Robert Kraus. This project makes a great bulletin board display, memory book page, or other special project for the primary grades. #MissMsReadingResources #Leothelatebloomer #Craft #Kindergarten
