Plant Seeds
Use biodegradable peat pots and give help each
child fill with soil and plant sunflower seeds.
These are easy to grow and demonstrate tiny to
tall very effectively. Keep the peat pots in a sunny
warm spot in the classroom, and help the children
care for them properly until they are strong
enough to take home.

Paper Plate Sunflowers
Make sunflowers from paper plates and sunflower seeds. Let the
children glue lots of the seeds (the type with the shell intact) in the
center of their plates. Then provide bits of crumpled-up yellow
tissue paper for the petals, and let the children glue these around
the outside of the glued-on seeds. Hang from the ceiling for a
very cheery atmosphere!

their own Terrarium, which they can keep in the classroom, or
take home with their packet of seeds.
Here are instructions for how to make a Terrarium
Seed Matching Game:
Cut these out separately to make a fun seed matching game, or
cut out as four different seed cards....fold and glue to keep the
flower on the front and the seeds on the back. (You could make a
set like this for the childrento play with and learn, then send them
home with their own game set.)
Make a Seed Packet:
This is a printable template for children to make their own seed
packet that they can take home with them. Have them draw a

circle what kind of care the plant needs. There is also a planting
stake for them to place in the dirt next to where they've planted
their seeds.
