Daffodils are one of the first flowers to bloom in spring. Their cheery yellow petals are a welcome sight after a long winter. For kids, daffodils can be a source of inspiration for poems and art projects. Here are some daffodil poems and art ideas to get your kids started.

Daffodils are Blooming

Daffodils are blooming

and the world is in bloom

Nature is on display

in all its glory

A colourful carpet spread

underneath the feet

of the daffodil.

Daffodil

Daffodil

Yellow, jolly and gay

Smiles at me from under the May Day sun

A harbinger of spring that is just begun

Bringing with it hope of a new day

A joy to behold in the fresh young springtime

Symbol of rebirth and new beginnings.

Daffodil, daffodil

Daffodil, daffodil,

the prettiest flower in the spring.

You are so yellow and pure,

such a delight to look at.

Your petals are so soft,

your fragrance is so sweet.

The Sight of Daffodils

I love the sight of daffodils

Yellow and orange against the green

They remind me of the Springtime

When all things are new once again

I can’t wait to see them in my garden

Landing like sunny butterflies

Bringing hope that Winter is ending

And Summer is on its way.

Daffodils are Blooming

Daffodils are blooming

and the smell of spring is in the air.

The sun is shining and the sky is blue.

The daffodils are a beautiful sight.

They are a symbol of new beginnings.

They make me feel happy and alive.

I can’t help but smile when I see them.

The Eternal Daffodils

The eternal daffodils

We see them in the spring

They bring us happiness

And remind us of new beginnings.

What a Beautiful Sight

Daffodils, daffodils

What a beautiful sight

As the yellow and white

Blossom in the light

The fragrance in the air

Is such a delight

Cheerful Display

So early in the year.

You Make Everything Seem Just a Little Brighter

Is there anything as cheerful as a field of daffodils,

Niagara of yellow spilling out all over the place?

Marching in step with the sun, they bring such happiness,

Like a smile from Heaven, a sign that Spring is here.

Daffodils, you make everything seem just a little brighter,

Even on the grimmest of days, your sunny presence is felt.

Nature’s Message That Spring is Here

Daffodils blooming by the side of the road

Cheerful yellow faces in the April breeze

Their happy fragrance a joy to behold

March slowly giving way to April’s hope

Nature’s message that spring is here

Budding trees, burgeoning flowers

All sing of new beginnings.

Emerging from the Soil

Daffodils emerging from the soil

Cheerful yellow petals in the sun

Fresh and new, they stand out in the field

A sign of spring, a signal to be happy

Their fragrance fills the air

Bringing joy to all who smell them

Long may they stay, to bring happiness

These symbols of rebirth.

Each Spring You Grace Us With Your Presence

Daffodils, you are so lovely

Each Spring you grace us with your presence

Your golden trumpets always announce

The arrival of a new season

We can’t help but smile when we see you

Especially when your petals are wet

From a recent spring shower

Your beauty is unsurpassed by any other flower.

Daffodils Awaken In The Morning

Daffodils awaken in the morning

As the sun starts to peek

They open up their petals to the world

Sharing their beauty with everyone they see

They are a symbol of hope

And remind us that spring is on its way.

Everyone Loves a Daffodil

Daffodils, daffodils

Bringing happiness wherever they go

Their smile is as bright as the sun

Yellow and orange, their petals so bright

They make everyone smile with just their sight

These flowers bring nothing but joy

Even when the days are filled with sorrow

Everyone loves a daffodil.

Daffodil Bulbs Are Poisonous

Daffodil bulbs are poisonous,

Causing a stomach upset if eaten.

So don’t chew on them, or eat them,

Or you’ll be feeling quite sick.

Do Daffodils Grow Back Every Year

Yes, daffodils grow back every year.

You can mark their return

By the fresh green spears

That poke through the melting snow.

Their cheerful yellow blooms

Let you know that spring is here,

Bringing new life to the earth.

How Long Do Daffodils Last?

The daffodils last for weeks,

Bringing color to the lawn;

Catching the eye as they sway

In the early morning sun.

Each day they are a little different,

With new buds just starting to show;

Soon they will be at their peak,

An explosion of yellow and white.

But even when they start to fade,

They remain a cheerful sight;

And we can’t help but smile

At the sight of daffodils in bloom.

Golden Daffodils

Golden daffodils so bright and gay,

Smiling in the morning sun.

They bring a touch of springtime to our day,

A sign that winter’s done.

The world is new again with their arrival,

A fresh start for each and every one.

We can’t help but smile when we see them swaying,

In the breeze, so proudly on display.

A Hardy Perennial

Daffodils are a hardy perennial

That will come back again and again

They are always cheerful and bright

And add a touch of color to any scene.

Bright Yellow Trumpets

Daffodils,

bright yellow trumpets

speaking of spring

and rebirth

bidding us to come and see

what new life has sprung.

Don’t Eat Daffodil Bulbs

Don’t eat daffodil bulbs,

they’ll make you sick,

I learned the hard way,

now I’m warning you.

You’ll get a tummy ache,

and feel like you’re going to die,

just don’t eat the bulbs,

and you’ll be fine.

One of My Favourite Flowers

Yellow, orange and white

Bright as the morning sun

Unconditionally loved

by everyone

Narcissus poeticus

Is one of my favourite flowers.

A Boy Named Charlie

A boy named Charlie,
Won a ticket to the factory.
Inside he found a world of chocolate,
Filled with surprises around every corner.
He met the Oompa Loompas,
Who sang and danced as they worked.
Charlie had a great time,
And ate more candy than he ever thought possible.

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator

 

Rising high into the sky
A glass elevator that’s smooth and bright
Charlie and his mom inside
Going up to visit dad on a work trip
The view from the top is astounding
A world of endless blue and white
The sun shining down on everything below
Reflecting off the glass so it shimmers and glows

Charlie and the great glass elevator go up and up,
Riding smoothly on a gossamer thread.

They ascend so high that the air grows cold,
And Charlie’s heart is filled with joy.

The world spreads out before them like a map,
A tapestry of greens and blues and browns.

They whiz through the sky, faster and faster,
Until they reach the sun.

James and the Giant Peach

 

A peach as big as a house
Caught James’ eye as he walked by
He climbed up to investigate
The peach was ripe and juicy
Suddenly, James heard a voice
” Who’s there?” The peach asked
James was scared but responded
“It’s James, I’m just looking”
The peach said “Okay, come on up”
So James climbed up to the top
Inside, he found a doorway
Leading to a room full of gold
And a colossal peach seed.

James and the Giant Peach

When James was just a lad,
his parents died in a car crash.
Left alone, he was forced to live with his mean aunts.
But then one day, something amazing happened.
A giant peach started to grow in the garden!
Inside the peach, James found new friends
To help him on his fantastic journey.
The peach sailed across the ocean blue
With James and his friends inside,
Until they finally landed on a shore
In America, the land of opportunity.

A Girl Named Matilda

There was a girl named Matilda
She was exceedingly bright
And though her parents were quite average
Matilda shone like a light

Matilda loved to read books
Which helped her learn and grow
She had an incredible mind
And her teachers knew it, so

The headmistress didn’t like Matilda
She thought she was too smart
But the other kids loved her

And so did Miss Honey

A Little Girl

Matilda is a little girl
Who is very smart and sweet
She has a magical power
To make things happen with her mind
She is always willing to help
And she never gives up

A Girl With a Gift

Matilda is a girl with a gift,
she has a special power to make things happen.
She can make things happen with her mind,
and she doesn’t have to use any force.
Matilda is a girl who is smart and kind,
she uses her power to do good in this world.
She helps people who are in need,
and she makes them feel happy and loved.

The BFG!

I dreamed that I met The BFG,
He was larger than life
He kindly took me by the hand
And showed me around his land
He introduced me to all his friends
And we had a jolly good time
Then before I knew it, it was time
To say goodbye to The BFG

But I’ll never forget the joy
That he brought to my life.

One Of Roald Dahl’s Most Underrated Books

The BFG is one of Roald Dahl’s most underrated books.
It tells the story of a big, friendly giant who
steals children from their beds at night to eat them.

The other giants consider him a weirdo and make fun of him,
but he doesn’t mind because he has a good heart.

One night, he takes Sophie to his cave and tells her his story.
She is so fascinated that she doesn’t even realize she’s about to be eaten.

When she comes home the next morning, she tells her parents what happened and they don’t believe her.
But eventually, they come to believe her and the book has a happy ending.

Well-drawn Characters

Of all the Roald Dahl books I’ve read,
my favourite one by far is The BFG.
The story is so imaginative and fun,
it’s one I could read again and again.
The characters are so likeable and well-drawn,
and I love the way the story ends.
I highly recommend it to anyone,
whether they’re young or old.

Horrible Histories Song

Horrible Histories did a song about all the Kings and Queens from William First (aka William the Conqueror!)

A poem written in the time of George V

– please let me know in the comments if you know who the author is.

William the Conqueror long did reign,
William, his son, by an arrow was slain;
Henry the First was a scholar bright;
Stephen was king without any right.
Henry the Second, Plantagenet’s scion;
Richard the First was as brave as a lion;
John, though a tyrant, the Charter signed;
Henry the Third had a weakly mind.
Edward the First conquered Cambria dales;
Edward the Second was born Prince of Wales;
Edward the Third humbled France in its pride;
Richard the Second in prison died.
Henry the Fourth for himself took the crown;
Henry the Fifth pulled the French king down;
Henry the Sixth lost his father’s gains.
Edward of York laid hold of the reins;
Edward the Fifth was killed with his brother;
Richard the Third soon made way for another.
Henry the Seventh was frugal of means;
Henry the Eighth had a great many queens.
Edward the Sixth reformation began;
Cruel Queen Mary prevented the plan.
Wise and profound were Elizabeth’s aims.
England and Scotland were joined by King James.
Charles found the people a cruel corrector;
Oliver Cromwell was called Lord Protector;
Charles the Second was hid in an oak,
James the Second took Popery’s yoke.
William and Mary were offered the throne,
Anne succeeded and reigned alone.
George the First from Hanover came;
George the Second kept up the name;
George the Third was loved in the land,
George the Fourth was pompous and grand,
William the Fourth had no heir of his own,
So Queen Victoria ascended the throne.
When good Queen Victoria’s long reign was o’er
Edward the Seventh the English crown wore;
George the Fifth rules the vast realm of England today
And “God Save the King!” all his subjects’ hearts say.

A Short Poem which is more up to date

(and can be sung to the tune of Good King Wenceslas)

Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee,
Harry, Dick, John, Harry three;
One, two, three Neds, Richard two
Harrys four, five, six… then who?
Edwards four, five, Dick the bad,
Harrys twain VII VIII and Ned the Lad;
Mary, Bessie, James the Vain,
Charlie, Charlie, James again…
William and Mary, Anna Gloria,
Four Georges I II III IV, William and Victoria;
Edward seven next, and then
George the fifth in 1910;
Ned the eighth soon abdicated
Then George the sixth was coronated;
After which Elizabeth
And that’s the end until her death.
