Want to discover the magic of growing plants? This fun activity lets you plant seeds and take care of them while learning about nature and responsibility. Here’s how you can do it with your friends!
How plants grow from seeds to full plants.
Why plants are important for clean air, food, and animals.
How to take care of living things responsibly.

Watering cans or spray bottles
Gardening gloves (if you want)
Markers and tape to write names on the pots
1. Talk About Plants
Start by chatting about how plants grow and why they matter for the Earth, air, food, and animals.
2. Plant the Seeds
Help everyone fill their pots with soil, plant their seeds inside, and write their names on the pots so everyone knows which is theirs.
3. Take Care Every Day
Water your plants regularly and keep them in a sunny spot.
Encourage your friends to watch how the plants grow every day and maybe draw pictures or write a little plant diary.
4. Learn Together
Talk about what happens next—how the seed sprouts, grows leaves, and maybe flowers.
Ask questions like:
What do plants need to grow?
How do plants help the Earth?
What was your favorite part of planting and caring for your plant?
By planting seeds and caring for them, you’re learning how amazing plants are and how we can all help the Earth. Have fun growing your green friends!
