In this engaging lesson plan designed for toddlers aged 2-4, students will explore the fundamentals of gardening through hands-on activities and sensory experiences. The lesson begins with a discussion on plant growth, allowing children to share their thoughts and observations about gardens.
Participants will then engage in a hands-on planting activity, where they will fill pots with soil, plant seeds, and learn about the importance of watering plants. A nature walk will follow, encouraging children to collect various natural items, which they can explore in a sensory play activity.
To foster creativity, children will also have the opportunity to draw their favorite plants and decorate their pots with stickers and drawings. The lesson concludes with a wrap-up discussion to reinforce learning and a healthy snack that connects plants to food. Throughout the session, students will develop a deeper understanding of gardening concepts and an appreciation for the natural world, while encouraging ongoing curiosity and exploration.
