Let’s engage children in a fun and interactive activity to introduce them to the concept of plant growth and care.This activity encourages sensory exploration, responsibility, and appreciation for nature.
What materials do you need?
- Plastic cup/ small jar (one for each child).
- Potting soil.
- Photo of each child’s face to fit into the plastic cup or small jar.
- Grass seeds to grow.
- Water.
What to do:
- Add each child’s photo to the plastic cup and these can be kept in place by double sided tape.
- Fill up the cup with potting soil.
- Add the grass seed to the top of the cups.
- Pat the seeds down into the soil.
- Generously water.
- Wait for the seeds to grow.
Tips and Tricks:
- Once the plant grows, allow children to cut the grass as they please.
- Keep the cups on shelves and involve the children when watering them.
This fun planting activity fosters environmental awareness and learning for young children by instilling a sense of responsibility for caring for living things and understanding the importance of plants in our environment.
