A few weeks ago we had an Earth Day Party.
I was a little disappointed that the “plant a seed” activity didn’t execute as I had hoped. The kids found the bush beans seeds and scatted them throughout our yard and into the sensory bins.
Yesterday I finally started to clean up the piles of soil and sensory bin craziness. I grabbed my sons and their gardening tools and we all started to clean up the “mess” when suddenly my 3 year old noticed a bean had expanded and sprouted…
…so we kept digging to find critters, a corn kernel that had grown a bud, the potatoes had flowered, the skin of a black bean that had nearly popped off and…
…the long lost bush beans. Our Spring Surprise. The contents of our sensory tubs took life a bit further.
The experience had unfolded exactly as it should have…and my sons were there to feel it.
Thanks for choosing to read this post today.
