Justification of the need to develop an environmental project
"Flowers Around Us"
Planet Earth is our common home, every person living in it must treat it with care and respect, preserving all its values and wealth.
A kindergarten today is an educational institution that provides physical education, health, cognitive - speech, artistic - aesthetic, social and personal development of children. Fostering in preschoolers a conscious - caring attitude towards the natural world, a sense of mutual assistance, co-creativity, innovative approaches to environmental education for preschoolers. Federal state requirements for the structure of the basic general education program establish the fundamental principle of integration of educational areas. If we talk about what is fundamentally new in the content of preschool education, then it is the requirement that it comply with the principles stated in the FGT. Therefore, the project is based onintegrated approach,suggesting the interconnection of research activities, music, visual arts, physical education, games, theatrical activities, literature, modeling, i.e. greening of various types of activities baby
The environmentally oriented direction can be distinguished separately, and at the same time it is integrated into each of the above areas, since it has a huge influence on the intellectual, creative and moral education that shapes the modern educated personality. Participation in environmental campaigns, cleanup days, in landscaping the territory, landscaping is a unique opportunity for children and parents to express themselves and benefit the surrounding nature of their native land. Environmental education- one of the main directions in the education system, this is a way of influencing children’s feelings, their consciousness, views and ideas. Children feel the need to communicate with nature. They learn to love nature, observe, empathize, and understand that our Earth cannot exist without plants, since they not only help us breathe, but also treat us from diseases. Flowers are not only beauty, but also part of living nature. The most effective way to implement the tasks of environmental education is to organize project activities.
Everything good in people comes from childhood!
How to awaken the origins of goodness? Touch nature with all your heart:
Be surprised, find out, love!
We want the earth to bloom
And the little ones grew like flowers, so that for them the environment would become
Not science, but part of the soul!
Relevance of the project
Introducing preschoolers to nature is one of the most important tasks in working with children. At the same time, it is very important that the acquired knowledge is not presented in isolation, without reference to the whole complex of phenomena surrounding the subject of study. Children should always see the connection of a particular species with the environment, its influence on this environment, they should understand that plants depend on each other and on their habitat.
Environmental education is one of the main directions in the education system; it is a way of influencing children’s feelings, their consciousness, views and ideas. Children feel the need to communicate with nature. They learn to love nature, observe, empathize, and understand that our Earth cannot exist without plants, since they not only help us breathe, but also treat us from diseases.
Flowers are not only beauty, but also a part of living nature that must be protected and protected, and, of course, known. Know the structure of a flower, its appearance, features, healing properties.
Flowers are life itself.
How poor we would be if there were no flowers on earth. When introducing children to nature, we adults strive to provide an example of a humane attitude towards all living things, so that the child understands that each object has its own place in nature and its purpose. Anyone can pick a flower, but not everyone can say which flower they picked.
Considering that children need “live” communication with nature, observations and practical activities in nature, an educational, research and creative project “Flowers Around Us” was developed.

Amazing bouquet for planet Earth
Sl.1 Heading
Sl.2 2017 can rightfully bear the title of the most natural year, since all the events taking place will be dedicated to nature. Man is somehow connected with nature. Even though cities began to forget about this with the development of cities, all environmental events in 2017 will remind us of this...
We all have one planet -
There is no other like it in the world!
Don't destroy the Earth, people!
We will not have another Earth!
Transport, factories, factories
They poison the air, they poison the waters.
If we destroy the Earth,
Tell me, where will we live?
Loving the earth in words,
Man, start with yourself!
Do not throw garbage on the Earth:
You yourself said: The Earth is our mother!
Animals, trees, grass -
Mother Earth gave birth to everyone.
And everyone has the right to life,
Same as you and me!
If you are not your own enemy:
The earth will live without us,
And we can’t live without her!
Let everyone understand this
Sl. 3 Human! He created terrible poisons that kill insects and animals.
Level 4 Human! He created cars, plants and factories that poison the air with harmful substances.
Sl. 5 Human! Covers the Earth with a huge layer of debris.
Sl.6 Human! Contaminated the earth with sedimentation tanks!
Sl.7 People! Come to your senses! Take care of your native nature!
Sl.8 For millions of years he has been working for good,
Giving life to everyone around.
And while the Earth-planet is spinning,
Will serve humanity!
Trouble can come from outer space
And life on the planet will end then.
Like a crystal ball, the planet is fragile.
God bless her, good hand!
Sl.9 Rotating slowly in space, the blue planet Earth remains the most beautiful in the solar system. Most often, the Earth talks with the red-faced Mars, its closest neighbor in time and space.
EARTH : A long time ago, bipedal creatures arrived on spaceships from another galaxy. Not only did people - as they called themselves - mercilessly burned and cut down forests, exterminated thousands of species of animals, polluted the seas and rivers, poisoned the air, but they also exploded bombs, trying to push me out of orbit.
MARS : I'm familiar with this. I was just like you, with a blue vibe. Dense forests surrounded me, strange animals ran on the lawns, clear water flowed through the canals. And then spaceships with three-legged creatures also arrived from the Pleiades constellation. And over thousands of years they brought me to the same state in which you are now.
EARTH: Tell me how you got rid of them?
MARS: In a nuclear war they destroyed each other, but my atmosphere was also destroyed, and I turned into a lifeless red planet. Maybe we can help you get rid of your problems? Let me send you a giant meteorite.
EARTH (thoughtfully): Not yet, I still have friends: scientists, ecologists, writers who write about me with love.
Level 10 And today, in honor of the Year of Ecology, we will give the Earth an unusual bouquet. Unusual because it will be a bouquet of flowers from legends.
Bouquets are different. This could be: bouquets of flowers, words, moods, or even a bouquet of sharpened pencils. They are everywhere and always colorful. We just don't notice them sometimes.
After all, as Andersen wrote in his fairy tale “Thumbelina”: “To live, you need the sun, freedom and a small flower.”
And remains firmly with us,
Everything related to flowers
The colors of the stars dissolved in them,
And a world of love without torment and tears!
… and it will also be a bouquet of our words... that we love our planet very much and will keep it clean, beautiful and fragrant!
We are talking about
That the whole Earth is our common home -
Our good home, spacious home,
We all live in it from birth.
We are also talking about this,
That we must take care of our home!
***
Flowers contain soul, life, and inspiration,
They are the source of victories and joy!
Please accept, as a sign of love and respect,
Flowers and this bouquet are from us.
Sl.11 Legends and myths about flowers.
Flowers - poems of the earth...
Is it possible it's better
Tell me about this earthly beauty?
Sl.12 A long time ago, when life was just beginning on earth and everything around was covered with snow.
One snowflake, they say, risked turning into a flower in order to warm the earth with its warmth.
There was no one else to do it. And she became a flower - a snowdrop, and the delicate flower warmed the earth, and life appeared on it.
There are many legends and stories about flowers. How did legends about flowers, plants and herbs arise? Why are some plants attributed supernatural properties? The amazing features of plants are one of the main reasons for the emergence of legends and fairy tales. Each flower had its own story, and a very ancient story turned into a legend...
Sl.13 Snowdrop. Snowdrops have medicinal properties and can be used to treat diseases of the nervous system, inflammation of the joints and muscle pathologies.
This is a legend, and not even a legend, but a very real story connected with snowdrops and CatherineII.
The case was described by Otto von Bismarck. During his visit to Russia, walking through the Summer Garden, he noticed that a certain sentry was guarding a completely empty place. No one could explain the strange tradition except the old minister. He said that once upon a time, even under his father, Catherine II Having seen the first snowdrop on the lawn of the Summer Garden, she posted a sentry to guard the spring miracle. The snowdrop faded, but the soldiers continued to carry out the imperial decree for many more years!..
Sl.14 Snowdrops, snowdrops
Forests are colored days,
Green candlesticks
And white lights...
Level 15 Water lily is the queen of waters.
This plant is indicated for headaches and tumors. Water lily root in the form of a decoction will help get rid of diarrhea and also relieve pain in the bladder. A healing decoction of flowers is prescribed for insomnia and jaundice. A unique wine tincture from the roots of the plant relieves severe lacrimation and profuse purulent discharge. Water lily is also effective for serious neuroses, neuralgia and rheumatism. It should also be noted that this plant has a powerful antipyretic effect.
The white water lily is protected by law, since there are very few of them left in the reservoirs of rivers and lakes.
The Italian legend tells that the water lilies are the children of the beautiful blond Countess Melinda and the ugly, scary swamp king who kidnapped her.
Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful Melinda. And the swamp king was watching her all the time. The king's eyes twinkled as he looked at the beautiful girl, and although he was scary as hell, he nevertheless became Melinda's husband, and the yellow egg-little, which has long symbolized treason and deceit, helped him get the beauty. Walking with her friends near a swampy lake, Melinda admired the golden floating flowers, reached for one of them, stepped on a coastal stump in which the ruler of the bog was hiding, and he carried the girl to the bottom. At the site of her death, snow-white flowers with a yellow core emerged. These flowers turned out to be water lilies.
Sl.16 She spread her petals languidly.
And suddenly your flowers began to play,
The queen of waters is the beautiful water lily.
Sl.17 Iris. The world's first irises appeared on earth more than one million years ago. The amazing beauty of this plant attracted not only birds and animals, but also the elements - water and wind, which carried the seeds of a beautiful flower throughout the planet. And the image of a blooming iris appears on the Florentine coat of arms.
Essential oil is obtained from iris flowers, which is extremely valued and used in the manufacture of cosmetics and perfumes.
Residents of Armenia often use iris petals when preparing very tasty and healthy jam. Dried iris seeds can be added when preparing a drink that can replace coffee. Dried orris root is also actively used in folk medicine. The benefits of iris in this case are due to its effective expectorant, blood purifying and diuretic effects.
The name of this flower is associated with the name of Iris, the goddess of the rainbow in Greek mythology. The flower has leaves that are flat, like swords, and therefore the Germans call it sword lily, and the Russians gave it the tender name “kasatik” for its beauty. When the titan Prometheus stole the heavenly fire on Olympus and gave it to people, a wondrous seven-colored rainbow flashed on earth - so great was the joy of all living things in the world. The sunset had already faded, and the day had faded, and the sun had gone, but the rainbow still shone over the world, giving people hope. It did not go out until dawn, and when in the morning the sun returned to its place again, where the magical rainbow burned and shimmered with colors, irises bloomed...
This is what it is, this rainbow flower, given to humanity by Prometheus along with fire.
Sl.18 Shades of the slender, shadows of the strange,
Blue, fragrant,
Illuminated by moonlight,
Pure iris flowers.
Sl.19 Lilies of the valley. This flower is the most fragrant, the most mysterious. Be careful because lily of the valley is a poisonous plant and its fruits can cause poisoning.
You cannot eat lily of the valley flowers and fruits, as this will lead to poisoning, which means nausea, tinnitus, vomiting, increased heart rate, etc. In case of poisoning, you should immediately do a gastric lavage.
Lily of the valley preparations should be taken only as prescribed by a doctor and under his supervision. It is found in Crimea, Siberia, the Caucasus and the Far East. Lily of the valley is a plant listed in the Red Book!
Lily of the valley contains many glycosides that have a positive effect on the heart. Lily of the valley lowers blood pressure, thanks to it, cardiac edema decreases and even disappears. Lily of the valley preparations have a sedative effect. The plant is used for heart defects, abdominal pain, fever and abdominal cramps. The medicinal raw material is the aerial part of the lily of the valley.
According to an ancient Russian legend, the sea princess Volkhova fell in love with Sadko, and he gave his heart to the darling of the fields and forests, Lyubava. The saddened Volkhova went ashore and began to cry. And where the princess’s tears fell, flowers grew - a symbol of purity, love and sadness.
Level 20 In legends, the lily of the valley is a symbol of sadness,
Sad suffering, thoughts at night.
Where the girl's tears fell,
The lily of the valley bloomed, but not the bright roses.
Sl.21 Poppy. Poppy is widely used in folk medicine. Using a decoction from the roots of the plant, you can eliminate headaches and cure inflammation of the sciatic nerve. In ancient times, healers prepared sleeping pills from the seeds of the fruit, which helped relieve fatigue. Many medicines with a wide spectrum of action are made based on poppy:

Poppy is extremely beneficial for the human body. Our grandmothers knew about the benefits of poppy seeds; mixing it with honey and treating their grandchildren to this delicacy, they helped their children grow up strong and healthy. This is how they fought the hyperactivity of children, protected them from diseases and evil spirits. Grandmothers knew when to stop and knew its sacred properties. Only those who abuse its properties are harmed by poppy seeds. The harm of poppy extends only to those who use its narcotic properties, preventing everyone else from receiving from the plant the healing power of its capabilities given to poppy by nature.
Nowadays, poppy cannot be planted; since 2004, there has been a ban on poppy cultivation. Moreover, you cannot import it as a raw material from abroad
Legend says that the goddess Flora created the poppy in order to somehow bring joy to a lonely and sad night.
When the Lord created the earth, animals and plants, everyone was happy except Night. No matter how hard she tried to dispel her deep darkness with the help of stars and glowing bugs, she hid too many of the beauties of nature, thereby pushing everyone away from her. Then the Lord created Sleep, dreams and daydreams, and together with the Night they became welcome guests. Over time, passions awoke in people, one of the people even planned to kill his brother. The dream wanted to stop him, but the man's sins prevented him from approaching. Then Sleep, in anger, stuck his magic rod into the ground, and Night breathed life into it. The rod took root, turned green and, retaining its sleep-inducing power, turned into a poppy.
And the life of a flower is less than two days. This is a magical mystery flower that symbolizes both the beauty of life and the horror of death. A scarlet star that blossomed in the world to separate good and evil.
Sl. 22 I inhaled the heady aroma
And drowned headlong in scarlet poppies,
Reading at random on the petals
Mysterious fire signs.
Sl.23 Lilac is a messenger of hope.
In folk medicine, lilac flowers were brewed as tea, they drank such tea for colds, pulmonary tuberculosis, kidney stones, flu, cough, diarrhea, and drank lilac tea at elevated body temperatures, since lilac has diaphoretic and antipyretic properties. Lilac also promotes the removal of sand and stones from urolithiasis.
…The god of forests and fields, Pan, was ugly from birth - horned and bearded, and even with goat hooves. But, as they say, you can’t order your heart. The young master fell in love with the forest nymph Syringa, as beautiful as a May morning. Pan wandered everywhere, chasing the beauty. One day he saw Siringa from a distance in a dense forest and wanted to catch up with her. Then the nymph, in horror, prayed to Artemis: “Save me from shame!” She turned the nymph into a fragrant lilac bush that blooms every spring. And the inconsolable gentleman broke off a lilac branch, made a pipe (syrinx) out of it and never parted with it. When, in hours of quiet sadness or wild joy, Pan began to play the pipe, the birds in the forest fell silent, and the breeze died down in the field. And it seemed that at that moment one could hear the quivering breath of the earth itself, when it is pure, tender, still virgin, waking up under the rays of the sun.
Sl. 24 How festively the lilac blossomed in the garden
Lilac, white.
Today is a special day - lilac day,
The beginning of a blooming summer.
Level 25 Hyacinth. Dried hyacinth petals are sewn into gauze bags and placed on linen for scenting. It is known that the smell of hyacinth drives away depression, improves the functioning of the nervous system, and relieves insomnia. Our great-grandmothers would grind dry hyacinth petals into powder, set it on fire and fumigate the room to get rid of mosquitoes, which would immediately evaporate. Cockroaches also do not like hyacinth smoke. Hyacinth has anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, bactericidal, astringent, antiseptic and soothing properties. Essential oil is obtained from its flowers and leaves, which is added to perfumes and creams. Hyacinth cleanses and rejuvenates the skin.
One day, off the coast of Holland, a Genoese ship sank in a storm. Its wreckage washed ashore. And, a few weeks later, children playing on the sandbank noticed a never-before-seen flower almost at the very edge of the surf. It had the same leaves as a tulip, only the stem was completely planted with many beautiful flowers, similar to small lilies. The flowers smelled unusual, and no one could understand where such an outlandish miracle came from here.
Flowers that were accidentally brought to Holland by the sea began to be called hyacinths, which translates as “flower of rains,” apparently because hyacinth bloomed during the rainy season. Hyacinth was also considered a symbol of dying and resurrecting nature, since, having withered, the beautiful flower was reborn a few months later. Hyacinth is a flower of love, happiness, fidelity and... sorrow.
Sl.26 Oh Hyacinth!
In spring you decorate the vaults of the sky,
And in Greece you
Symbol of the rebirth of nature
Sl.27 Aster. A star that fell from the sky. All parts of the plant are taken for treatment. Due to the content of biologically active components - flavonoids, coumarin, saponin - aster has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties, can prevent the action of pathogenic microorganisms, and is considered a powerful mucolytic agent. Also, recipes from aster are used for pulmonary tuberculosis, but only as an additional treatment. Some types of plants can be used in the treatment of the digestive tract. Astra is taken externally to treat certain skin diseases, and sometimes helps with mild vision pathologies.
The Oneida Indians tell this legend about this flower. The young hunter fell in love with the girl, but she remained indifferent to him.
– If I knock a star from the sky, will you become mine? – he asked the proud beauty. No one else from the tribe could make the bride happy with such a gift, and the girl, thinking that the hunter was just a braggart, agreed. When the Indians from the neighboring wigwams learned about this, they began to laugh at the young man. But the hunter stood his ground.
– come to the big meadow in the evening,” he said.
When the bright stars flashed in the sky in the evening, all the men from the Oneida tribe gathered to see if the young hunter would be able to fulfill his promise. The young man raised his bow, pulled the string and sent the arrow skyward. And a moment later, high in the sky, a silver star scattered into small sparks - it was struck by a well-aimed arrow from a hunter. Only the young man missed out on the desired happiness. God was angry with a mere mortal who dared to knock stars out of the sky. After all, if other lovers follow his example, then there will be no stars left in the sky, and the Moon is unlikely to survive... He sent a terrible storm to the earth. A fierce hurricane raged for three days and three nights. Everything on earth was shrouded in thick darkness. The sea overflowed its shores, and where previously there was an ocean, dry land formed... When the storm subsided, no one could find the daredevil who knocked the star out of the sky. He turned into a small flower, to which the Indians gave the name “shooting star.”
Sl.28 The sun in the sky was surprised:
What a miracle happened
Maybe the stars were lit?
The asters have bloomed!
Sl.29 Rose is the queen of flowers. According to archaeological data, the rose has existed on Earth for about 25 million years
And finally, another legend - the riddle of the rose.
One evening, a prince was walking in a palace park. He was surprised when he met a very beautiful stranger. They walked in the park all night, but at dawn she told him that she had to leave because she was a princess who had been turned into a rose by an evil sorcerer. Only for one summer night she becomes a girl again. There is only one way to disenchant it - on the first try, recognize it among thousands of other roses. If the choice is wrong, the girl will die. The princess disappeared, and the prince, with the first rays of sunshine, went to that part of the park where hundreds of roses grew and immediately found her. The question is - how did he recognize her? Answer: there was no dew on it...
Sl. thirty Roses came to the Russian land to bloom in our gardens.
They brought aromas, colors, exoticism with them
Young and old are delighted with the unearthly beauty.
They seem to be renewed every day and every hour,
These roses, like sorceresses, fascinate us.
For a long time they have been considered an adornment of the earth,
Only angels could create such delights.
Sl.31 Why are flowers needed?
Firstly, aesthetic;
Secondly, air purification;
Thirdly, the improvement of the human body;
Fourthly, they have a beneficial effect on the emotional and psychological background
Many people of all countries and nations are accustomed to believe that flowers are one of the eternal symbols of goodness.
Flowers are life and beauty. Perhaps all nature is a mosaic of flowers? Perhaps all of nature is a desire for beauty? (Konstantin Balmont ).
Flowers accompany us throughout our lives.
Flowers help people: they heal, predict the weather, check the time... The famous Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus (18th century) for a long time surprised his acquaintances by the fact that he always told the exact time without looking at the clock. The solution to the trick is that a flower clock “grew” under Carl Linnaeus’s window! The clock dial was divided into a number of sectors, in each of which a strictly defined type of plant was planted, selected according to the time of its opening. During the sunny day, the botanical clock went unerringly: every hour one plant opened its flowers, followed by another, and so on until dusk.
Another property of flowers is known: they are included in the menu. There are many flower-eating peoples in the world!
Sl.32 They say that in his life a person must raise a son, build a house, plant a tree...
Sl.33 And if everyone plants and grows at least one flower, the earth will turn into a beautiful garden...
Sl.34 And finally, one parable for you... The fly and the bee.
Level 35 A mosquito once asked a fly:
– Are there flowers in the area?
– “I don’t know anything about flowers,” the fly answered him. - But the ditches are full of cans, manure, and sewage.
And the fly began to list to the mosquito all the surrounding garbage dumps, which he definitely needed to visit.
Sl.36 A mosquito flew in the indicated direction and met a bee along the way.
Have you seen any garbage dumps in the area? - he asked her.
– Garbage dumps? Sewage? No, I haven’t seen it anywhere,” the bee was surprised. - But there are so many fragrant flowers everywhere here.
Sl.37 Appreciate and take care of the nature around you.
I love this colorful world
The sky is starry, the winds are gentle.
Maybe I'll seem funny
Singing the boundless fields.
I look to the skies when
A clear heart is filled with happiness.
Even if trouble befalls you,
I will rise to find the beautiful.
I want it to be better
Today is a mysterious moment.
Let everyone discover for themselves,
Bright joy, the only way.
From a height so that the rain flows.
The most rainbow, the most affectionate.
How good this world is.
It is painted with earth colors.
