Provide garden soil, grass seed and tube socks. Have the children assist as you fill four or five tube socks with garden soil and grass seed. Knot off the tops of the socks, and have the children dunk the socks in water. Place the wet socks near a window and discuss what will take place. As the grass begins to grow through the fabric of each sock, have the children water the grass using spray bottles. Encourage the children to touch the grass, and assist them in comparing what they feel to the feel of grass on the playground. Ask, "Is it different or the same?"
