To supplement our flower science activities for kids, today we share fun science YouTube videos about life cycle of flowering plants. Since it usually takes longer to observe the plant life cycle, for preschool children, you can start with the life cycle of a flower, which includes: buds open, flowers bloom, pollination, seeds are made, flowers die, seeds fall, and finally new plants form and new flower buds form. Before you start planting your own flowers, you can watch these YouTube videos with kids.
6 YouTube Science Videos About Life Cycle of a Flower for Preschool Kids
Sunflower life cycle is an easy science video for young childre. Since it is quick and easy to grow sunflowers out of seeds, sunflowers are usually first choice for teaching young children about life cycle of flowering plants. The video is short and all the illustration is made out of paper cut out, so it is fun to watch for everyone.
The life cycle of flower is another good start video for young children to learn how the flowers are formed, starting from seed. It is shown with drawing and very short, with no fancy concepts to grasp. A perfect introduction of plant life cycle to preschool children.
Life cycle of a flower: I like how the video is made with paper crafts. After watching the video you can make some flower crafts too.
