Planting and Gardening in Preschool

Greenhouse growing Cups

Have the children plant seeds in clear cups.  Once they have planted their seed have them water their seeds with a squirt bottle.  Once the soil is damp, place another cup on top, tape around the edge and set in a window sill.

Growing Grass Hair

 

Children are keeping a running chart to see how much the grass grows in a week.  When it gets to tall they are going to give it a hair cut.

Growing their own garden 

The children have planed their own garden in the outside play area.  They have been watering it, weeding it, and watching it to see when the seeds will sprout.
