ACTIVITIES

Using a resealable plastic bag, a paper towel or napkin, seeds, and water we will discover a low-cost, effective tool for teaching about seeds, germination, and energy.

Through light yoga movements begin to soften, emerge, set roots and bloom as parents/guardians trigger seed growth though role playing conditions seeds need to grow.

Collaboratively work to observe and describe seeds by using fine motor skill of pinching to sort a variety of seeds like cilantro, marigold, sunflower, and squash and decide criteria for grouping and sorting the seeds.

It only takes a few pots, some potting soil, seeds and water. We’ll demonstrate how to fill 6 plant start packs with soil, poke a hole in the center of each pack with a finger, place a seed in each hole, and then cover with more soil. In a matter of days, shoots will begin to emerge and provide opportunities for families to continue to observe, chat about and nurture seedlings as they grow. We’ll also provide materials to create a seed ball made up of a combination of seeds, clay, and compost so you can further interact with your environment by launching seed balls anywhere.
