From meaning to word

Think about definitions related to flower, bud, leaf, rain, butterfly, garden. Count each answer’s letters and use crossings to distinguish possibilities. A word on the right theme is correct only if it answers the actual clue.

After the activity

Choose a plant and draw two growth stages; treat this as observation rather than a universal seasonal timetable. Explore flowers, leaves and other spring motifs through observations in different surroundings.

Check the form of the answer

Check singular or plural and letter count as well as meaning. Follow the activity’s convention for spaces, accents and other marks. When an answer will not fit, check its crossings too: the difficult clue may not be where the mistake began.
