One of Eric Carle’s treasured books is “The Tiny Seed.” We read this story during Eric Carle week this summer. We read the story and talked about the journey the seed took. This allowed us to talk about what things seeds need to live and grow. We discussed, water, sun, and food. We also discussed how seeds cannot get too hot, or too cold. Seeds need to be planted in grass not in cement or rocks, and they need to be buried deep enough that birds cannot find them.
We looked at three different types of seeds (corn, squash and peas). We discussed how they look different and how they need the same things. We planted two seeds to watch them grow.
For afternoon snack, in honor of the tiny seed, we made dirt cups. Everyone had so much fun smashing up the oreos and mixing the pudding. Most of all I think everyone enjoyed eating them!
