Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →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
- Divide the page into four spaces. Draw a seed in soil, then a small sprout.
- Draw a longer vine with leaves and a flower, followed by a pumpkin growing on the vine.
- Add seeds inside the pumpkin and point through the pictures in order, explaining that seeds can grow into new plants.
Adult stays beside the child; draw seeds instead of using loose seeds.
