Seeds, seeds, seeds

With a prevelance of seeds around, we’ve been doing some exploration and investigation-involving plants with the senior kindergartens. We started off pretending we were plants, growing in the sun and rain, producing a seed and then wilting in the fall. Each child then “released” a seed (a paper ball). 

We talked about where they landed and if each of the seeds would have enough room to grow, water and sun to share. We decided that seeds need to move, but they don’t move like people!

We read a story that described how seeds move.

Then, we went for a walk, discovering lots of seeds, and trying to decide how they moved.

Even the birds like seeds!
