Watch your Paws with Flowers!

 

Wildflowers are pretty.  They come in a wide variety of colours, sizes and shapes.  Sometimes they grow in large groups, and sometimes they are found all by themselves.  Did you know that wildflowers are important to nature?  Birds and insects (and butterflies, too) sometimes use flowers for food.  So, what should you do when you see flowers outside?

Watch your paws!

Be careful where you step.  If you step on a flower, it might die.  Then, nobody else will be able to see that flower, and the bees will be hungry.

And please don't pick it.  You might think it would be nice to take it home and show it to your parents.  If you do that, it might not grow there again.  Instead, go get your parents and bring them to the flower.  Then, everyone can enjoy the flower, and the flower can stay where it is.  (Maybe you should tell your parents to watch their paws, too.)
