Build A Flower To set up for this craft, you will first print out the instructions. There are two different sets of instructions, one for language and one for articulation. Articulation instructions have the number of times students need to say a particular word. The language instructions have smaller numbers because the language tasks take longer. Print out a couple of sets for each group. You don’t need one page of each s ..read more
