Planting Seeds – Mini Invitation Pack
Digital Download | Individual Use
Planting Seeds is a simple yet powerful spring invitation designed to help children explore growth, change and care through meaningful, hands-on experiences.
Rooted in Understanding the World, this activity supports children aged 1–5 to plant, observe and revisit their learning over time. It encourages patience, curiosity and responsibility — not through worksheets or one-off crafts, but through real-life connection with the natural world.
This is not about growing the “perfect” flower. It’s about noticing change, asking questions, and developing care for living things.
What’s Included:
Clear invitation overview and set-up guidance
EYFS links across Understanding the World, Communication & Language, Physical Development & PSED
Resources list for easy preparation
Differentiation and progression from 9 months to 5 years
Adult modelling prompts and sustained shared thinking questions
Key vocabulary cards (seed, soil, water, roots, grow, change)
“Celebrating Achievement” guidance to support meaningful observation
This invitation supports:
✔ Curiosity and early scientific thinking✔ Vocabulary development around growth and change✔ Fine motor skills (scooping, pouring, pressing)✔ Patience and responsibility✔ Understanding cause and effect
Designed to be revisited regularly — because deep learning happens over time, not in a single session.
