Hey there! Have you ever planted a seed and wondered what it might grow into? It’s like a fun surprise waiting to happen!
When we plant a seed, it could grow into so many different things. Maybe it will be a pretty flower like a daisy. Or perhaps it will be something yummy like broccoli. It could even be a big apple tree with lots of apples to pick!
After we plant the seed, we need to take good care of it. We give it water and make sure it gets sunlight. Then, we wait and see what happens. It’s exciting to watch it grow!
What if our seed grows into a wildwood, a forest, or even a jungle? That would be amazing! Or maybe it will be a funny tree, like a squiggly tree, a wiggly tree, or even a piggly tree. We just have to wait and see!
What if our plant grows into the biggest tree ever? It might be taller than a house or even reach up to the sky like a giant beanstalk! Wouldn’t that be incredible?
Planting seeds is a wonderful way to learn about nature and how things grow. Next time you plant a seed, think about all the amazing things it could become. Happy planting!
Seed Observation Journal: Start a seed observation journal with your child. Plant a seed in a small pot and have your child draw what it looks like each day. Encourage them to note any changes they see, like new leaves or stems. Ask them questions like, “What do you think will happen next?” or “How does the plant look different today?” This will help them understand the growth process and develop observation skills.
Plant Detective Walk: Go on a nature walk and become plant detectives! Look for different types of plants and trees. Ask your child to guess what kind of seeds might have grown into those plants. Encourage them to think about the size, shape, and color of the plants. You can ask questions like, “Do you think this tree started as a small seed like the one we planted?” or “What do you think this plant needs to grow big and strong?”
Seed Sorting Game: Gather a variety of seeds (like sunflower, pumpkin, and bean seeds) and have a seed sorting game. Let your child sort the seeds by size, shape, or color. Discuss with them what each seed might grow into and how different seeds need different conditions to grow. Ask questions like, “Which seed do you think will grow the tallest plant?” or “Why do you think seeds come in different shapes and sizes?” This activity will help them understand diversity in plants and the uniqueness of each seed.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

I wonder what we’ve planted. It could be anything! What’s it going to be? A daisy, broccoli, or an apple tree? We water it, look after it, and then we wait and see. What’s it going to be? A wildwood, a forest, or a jungle? We water it, look after it, and then we wait and see. What’s it going to be? A squiggly tree, a wiggly tree, or a piggly tree? We water it, look after it, and then we wait and see. What’s it going to be? It might be the biggest tree ever, a tree that’s higher than a house, or one that goes right up to the sky—a giant beanstalk!
