Show your child which seed came from which seed packet and what the seed will look like once it grows into the flower/plant
Assessment:
Place two different seeds side by side. Have your child show you which seed is the biggest. Which seed is the smallest.
Have your child point out if he/she notices a difference in the color of each seed. Are some brown, black or white?
Modifications:
If seed packets are unavailable, look at the seeds found in the vegetables you may have; Strawberries, apples, oranges, green beans, avocado, or bird seed
Helpful Hints:
If no seeds are available to explore, google search “Seeds” and many images will appear. Compare the different pictures with your child.
