What you need

A full sheet of paper and large child-appropriate crayons.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Draw a seed, a small sprout, and a larger tree with blossoms.
  2. Add apples to the tree and draw a seed inside one apple.
  3. Follow the pictures from seed to tree to fruit, and talk about how another tree can grow from a seed.

Adult stays beside the child; use drawings rather than loose seeds.
