Hmm, do you notice anything different about these flowers? (you may explore numbers and colors)
Do you think you can add beads to match the number on the front of the flower
Can we represent the same number in the back?
Is it possible to make a pattern with the beads? How would you do it?
Would you like to show me a different pattern now?
What if we name a couple of flowers and create some character? What are your thoughts on that? Let;s create a story about these two characters.
