4 children sat after lunchtime and started to draw rabbits and chicks on paper and coloring them. The educator approached them and asked them "What are they drawing?" Ellie said "I'm drawing an Easter bunny", Ruby said, "It's a spring bunny". Then, the educator told them "How interesting, can we read a book about spring?" the children agreed. After the children finished tidying up the drawing area, the educator sat on the carpet area and proceeded to pick up a book. The children sat on the carpet and looked at the teacher's book, which showed photos of some flowers and explained to them that in spring there are many flowers. Ruby raised her hand and asked, "Why do flowers bloom in spring?" The educator said, "That's an interesting question, does anyone know why?" Max raised his hand and said "It's because the rain wets the flowers", Ellie raised his hand and said, "It's because it's not cold anymore". Finally, Leo raised his hand and said "It's because the flowers were sleeping and they wake up."

Let’s find information about flowers!
