Looking For An Exciting Pollinator Activity? We Can Help!

Looking for a fun and educational way to bring plant science to life? This printable pollinator activity resource is designed for early primary school students to explore the process of pollination through an exciting hands-on simulation.

  • Simulate bee behavior with hands-on play
  • Record and discuss pollination data
