Teaching children joy: Earth Part 1
"Growing cup"
As part of our teaching children joy series we are moving on to joy of the earth. With spring underway this is a wonderful time a year to focus on nature. Today we made a visible "growing cup".
We chose to use beans for our seeds since they grow rather fast. Using a clear plastic cup, fill it with potting soil. Now push your seeds down along the side of the cup so that the seed is still visible. Water and set in a window.
Fluttershy will be in charge of watering her plant everyday. As the seed grows sends out roots we should be able to watch them grow.
very neat idea! do you think a 2 year old would be interested in doing this?
ReplyDeleteMy 4 year old was more interested in it. You can see my 2 year old in the back ground playing with fancy rocks. lol
