What fun! A bin full of soft, crumbly soil with its earthy smell and grainy texture...
We set the pots in a plastic sensory bin, along with some planting soil and scoopers and shovels, so the kids could play with the soil and even try scooping it into their pots.
A. enjoyed stacking the pots and scooping up bowlfuls of dirt.
L. loved the feel of the soil between his fingers. He especially liked to pick up handfuls of it and watch the soil sifting through the air!
L. was very focused on filling up her bowl with soil and then pouring it into her pot.
L. and F. were delighted to have the sensory bin outside.
Baby L. was a little skeptical of the soil at first.
But a scooper in hand helped assuage his skepticism and pique his curiosity!
Teacher Kristina showed us how to dig a hole in our soil and break up the roots of the flower a little bit to help it settle into its new home.
Happy Spring everyone!
Many thanks again to Teacher Kristina for helping our Green Room kids explore their green thumbs!
Love,
Teacher Katie
