Poem: What is pink?

What is pink?

A rose is pink

By the fountain's brink.

What is red?

A poppy's red

In its barley bed.

What is blue?

The sky is blue

Where the clouds float through.

What is white?

A swan is white

Sailing in the light.

What is yellow?

Pears are yellow,

Rich and ripe and mellow.

What is green?

The grass is green

With small flowers between.

What is violet?

Clouds are violet

In the summer twilight.

What is orange?

Why, an orange,

Just an orange!


Christina Rossetti.

Conclusion:

The preschool children would have improved their general knowledge on flowers during the practical flower lesson, and at the same time they would have developed their perceptual skills.
