Read the book Growing Vegetable Soup by Lois Elhert. Ask the children questions such as, “How do vegetables grow?” Place pictures on the table to represent digging the hole, planting the seeds and watering. Have the children put the pictures in order. The children will now grow their own vegetable using a small cup, a bean, soil and water. Show photos of different types of vegetable seeds and how they become plants. Show photos of gardening tools such as a watering can, rake, shovel, wheelbarrow, hoe and gloves. Reinforce new vocabulary words such as vegetable, soil, protect and prepare.
