It was a Styrofoam cup filled with soil. He had planted a sunflower seed in it at day care. In a short time the seed grew into a little delicate plant about three inches tall. Together, we replanted it outside. The picture of us in front of it was the continuation of a fabulous gift.
Planting is a wonderful activity to do with children.
Kids love to play in the dirt. Not only is planting a fun physical activity, but also it's incredibly rewarding to see the fruits of your labor. You may want to begin with a little acting game. Tell your child to squat down and pretend that he or she is a little sunflower seed. Ask what he or she thinks the seed needs to grow.
