Here's an easy activity that gets children outside using plants to explore the senses. We did this on the last day of school and the children enjoyed exploring the school grounds for fragrant, colourful, and textured plants.
Using 8 1/2 X 11 paper, measure 3 inches along the length of the paper and cut width-wise.
Put a few spots of glue at the middle of one strip. Glue it to the other strip so that they're forming a cross. 
Like so.
Add glue to your plant materials. A glue stick works fine. We used white glue and it got sloppy.
Arrange on paper.
Press in a flower press, or under a bunch of phone books and voila! I made a booklet last summer and the mint leaf and lavender are still fragrant.
