Planting

It's Spring!

Anybody else in heaven?

I'm almost ready to start planting our garden, but yesterday we just started with a few pots in the windowsill.

Kids love to get their hands dirty, so why not with a purpose?

Buying a pack of flower seeds at the store is cheap, but delightful for kids!

We planted three different types of flowers and some herbs.  

The girls loved how different each of the seeds were :)

There are ENDLESS amounts of things kids learn from planting things themselves.

I'm already excited about all the new learning we'll have this year just from our garden.

A few things I asked:

* What do you think plants need to grow?

* Can you "predict" which pot will have a plant first?

* Where might be a good place to put our pots? Why?

* Which color flower do you think will come from this seed?

The "science-y" learning is endless.

An unforeseen math connection popped up during this video!

I thought she would just guess a number of days, but that's what I get for thinking :)

P.S. This video was too long so I had to cut off the end with the answer, but you get the idea!

Adelyn checked on our "plants" even before she fixed her hair this morning :)
