Title: GROWING A PLANT

Short description: In this workshop children will learn how to plant a seed and how to transplant it on the soil. In particular: each child brings an empty yogurt container; the educator writes their names on the containers, so that children are able to distinguish their container from the others; the educator makes with a knife a little hole on the base of each container; the children fill up their containers with soil; every children take 2-3 seeds and 1 seedling and put them into their pots; they then water their pots with a watering made out of a plastic bottle with little holes on the cap; children get into pairs and transplant a plant from a pot into the garden soil; finally, earthworms are shown to the children, so that they can observe them and hold them into their hands. 

Target age of children: 4-6 years old
