I also love The Empty Pot by Demi. It isn't strictly about gardening, but it is fantastic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-about-gardeninggrowing#post-2520363 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 08:42:20 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2520363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my kids adore this book right now about gardening and halloween!</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pumpkin-Jack-Will-Hubbell/dp/0807566667" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Pumpkin-Jack-Will-Hubbell/dp/0807566667</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-about-gardeninggrowing#post-2520353 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 08:12:18 +0000 808love 2520353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: that's cool!

Then we taped them to a window and you could watch the sprouting. When the roots were developed enough, we transplanted them into pots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-about-gardeninggrowing#post-2519241 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 21:33:57 +0000 MrsSRS 2519241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about the seed in a wet paper towel in a clear plastic cup thing that most preschools do in the spring? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-about-gardeninggrowing#post-2519167 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 20:13:50 +0000 regberadaisy 2519167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katsupgirl: loving her feed! Thanks for sharing. Some great and easy ideas. Some easier for us when DD2 is older. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-about-gardeninggrowing#post-2519053 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 18:47:25 +0000 katsupgirl 2519053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's her Facebook <a href="https://m.facebook.com/simplylearningkids" rel="nofollow">https://m.facebook.com/simplylearningkids</a><br /> She also did a tiny greenhouse activity which was cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-about-gardeninggrowing#post-2519051 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 18:45:45 +0000 katsupgirl 2519051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I follow this account on Instagram that has really cool activities. She's doing growing activities this week and this looked cool. </p> [attach=3442/16/o5afc9.337x600.image.jpg] [attach=3442/16/o5afca.337x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-about-gardeninggrowing#post-2519025 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 18:19:23 +0000 regberadaisy 2519025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly think they don't get it till they see it and are a part of it! You can definitely explain it though! DD1 loves being a part of our garden! We've been growing seeds indoors and they both get super excited to water and see the sprouts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-about-gardeninggrowing#post-2519010 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 18:11:09 +0000 twodoghouse 2519010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm obsessed with a book called Up, Down, and Around by Katherine Ayres. It's about planting seeds, and some plants grow up, some grow down (like carrots), and other's grow around (things on vines). At the end they pick the vegetables and eat lunch. It's repetitive and catchy so my almost 2 year olds can read along with me. We also started some seeds in doors in our kitchen window, but they don't seem to care about those yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teaching-about-gardeninggrowing#post-2518977 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 17:44:53 +0000 Bao 2518977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to have a little garden this summer with the girls, but before we start anything I want to teach them a little bit about gardening and how things grow from a seed. So that they can understand what exactly we are doing. Are there any fun/simple ways to do this? Or books about gardening? </p>
