Preschool Plantings |
R is my little helper. No matter what I'm doing she wants to help. So
when I have a task that she can help with AND I can teach her something
it makes it all the more special. My task today was to get my seeds
started. I had bought the seed packets, the potting soil, and the peat
pots to get them going about a week or so ago and this was the first
chance I've had the energy to get them done. So we laid out a trash bag
on the kitchen table. The weather was cold and windy today so our
activity was moved indoors. Then, I showed R how to fill the peat pots
1/2 with dirt so that's what she did. Then, we put a couple seeds into
each pot and labeled the pot with what was in it and covered it with
more dirt. Then she got to water it. While we were planting our seeds we
talked about what the seed needs to become a strong and healthy plant. I
told her that the soil was there to give it its food, then the water
and the sun also help it to grow strong and then produce fruit so that
we can eat it. We planted zucchini, yellow squash, okra, hot peppers,
cilantro, rosemary and 2- basil and 2- parsley. Then we placed them in
the window so they could get their sun. I explained to R that after the
seeds start to sprout we will plant the peat pots into BIGGER pots so
that they can continue to grow big and strong. So I have a feeling that
I'm going to be asked to see the plants and to water them daily. Love my
little helper <3
