Jack And The Beanstalk

Posted on March 18, 2011 by crisc27| 12 Comments

We started off with listening to the story Jack and the Beanstalk. I didn’t have the book so we were able to find it on Youtube.com

After we read the book we:

bought some kidney beans
placed them on a damp napkin
put them in a cup and covered with a 2nd damp napkin

Within a couple days are seeds were beginning to sprout!!!

and continued to grow throughout the week….

1 week and 2 days later I am still amazed every morning at the changes these seeds have made.

(You can still see a piece of the shell)

What a great activity to go with this story!!! I will definitely do this with my daughter!!! I remember doing this activity in school and always being fascinated with it!!! I'm a gardner so my daughter has already asked when we'll start our garden!! This will be a great to do in the meantime! Thanks for the compliments about my blog and thanks for stopping by!

We've been planting seeds this week, I love the way you presented the seeds. My kids keep looking at the peat pots wondering when something is going to happen!
