We talked about seeds, flowers, planting, etc. We had a lot of fun exploring and learning.
Because our school is only 2 days, this was 2 weeks worth...but this lesson is SO easy to stretch!
Here we are...AGAIN...painting with something other than a paint brush. I had them make colorful dots all over the petals with q-tips. 
They learns all the main parts of a flower. Isn't this craft the cutest!!??!!
While we made the next craft for preschool, I wanted them to take something home to watch with their family. So we painted a tiny pot and added seeds to it.
For our seeds at school, We added some wet cotton balls and some seeds (green bean) to a zip lock bag. Then we decorated a green house. (found on pinterest)
We hung them up on the glass door (don't mind the construction on our deck). And now...we wait and watch. I have a paper that they can draw their observations each day they are here. Fingers crossed they sprout!!
Then we had a fun, free of directions, all on your own, craft. "Build a flower". They had a lot of fun making their own creations.
All of the flowers were different and unique. 
My daughters end result. Love it! 
What's next you ask?? How about a little Science!!!! What FUN! We took apart a flower. We smelled it, we touched it, and then we pulled it apart!! 
They had a blast with this.
Update 20 days later....
