International Women's Day Flowers

International Women’s Day is celebrated all over the world on 8th March. It’s a great opportunity to talk to your little one’s about “Who are the important women in their lives and why?” And what nice things they could do to make them feel special and appreciated on that day?

To continue the tradition of giving flowers we have a lovely activity to make a paper flower for Grandma, mum or a sibling. We hope you have fun!
