Assemble a mini doll sized book: Right, is the Nasturtium's illustration and verse. Visitors can collect all the flower illustrations and verse from "Flower Children" to print and construct a small book of verse for their dolls. Simply drag each png. into a Word Document, print, cut out all of the images the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge. Squeeze out some white school glue along the stapled edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover.
The scientific name for Nasturtium is Tropaeolaceae. Read more about this climbing vine here.
Back to the Flower Children Index.
Use the Victorian scrap below to make your very own Nasturtium paper doll. Print her from your home computer, cut her torso and head out and then paste a skirt made from fabric, lace, ribbons or fancy papers. Attach a print-out of fancy shoes to the bottom of her skirt. Scrap paper dolls were often hung from Christmas trees by Victorians over 100 years ago but you could make an entire floral inspired set of dolls to display in your room, hanging from garland or just to collect for fun!
