I happen to stop by this classroom and the teacher had a very tall paper flower sitting out on a table…
The children were very excited about this flower so to build on their enthusiasm, we decided to see who (or which) was taller – the flower or the child…
All the children hurried up to lay down on the ground so I could place the flower next to them and oh my, you would have thought this was the most exciting thing ever!!
The children had made their own construction paper flowers earlier in the day so this big flower was something that they were very excited about too…
After we all took a turn comparing flower to child – the teacher sang the seed song.
The seed begins in the garden, tiny and small...
It happens to be one of my favorites….
But then it grows and grows and grows - big and tall!

interesting 🙂 thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by!
We really like the “Seed Song” in my class and it looks like we might be doing the same movements! I’ll have to make a BIG flower soon! 🙂
LOL – those seem to be the most natural movements to try!
That’s one big flower! Yes, I like the seed song too:) Did they get to do some planting yet? Playing in soils sounds like fun!
Yes – I was debating whether or not to add the photos of their plants in this post or not:) I should have added them! Maybe I still will!
i am totally using this idea. thanks!
