PLAN A LITTLE TIME TOGETHER
01 A windowsill project ↗02 An outdoor activity ↗03 Planting or pretending? ↗THE ACTIVITY NOTEBOOK
Original designs with materials, adult preparation and cleanup. They have not been prepared or tested with children.
Plant & notice · ~20 min adult prep
Plan a small growing project around the light you actually have, rather than buying a large kit first.
See the activity plan ↗Water & control · ~5 min adult prep
Set up a controlled pouring practice before a child helps with a real plant. The goal is to pause and notice, not to deliver a fixed amount of water.
