DAY 4:
Grow cress seeds
Find something to grow your cress seeds on – you could use cotton wool or kitchen roll. Put it in a container such as an empty egg shell or yoghurt pot. Sprinkle the cress seeds on top and water them.
Within a couple of days, they will start to grow. Remember to keep the seeds moist!
Maybe you could decorate the container to make a face and then when the cress seeds grow it will look like hair!
Please ask your Key Person if you would like some cress seeds and remember to send us a photo once the cress has grown. Perhaps there will be a challenge to use your cress in another activity in our #30daysFroebel!
Share photos or comment on our posts telling us how you did the activities, using our hashtag #30daysFroebel.
Froebel noted that through ‘gardening, children could begin to see a connection between the growth of the plants… and their own lives such as the shared need for food, water… care.’ (Helen Tovey 2020)
