Little Seeds Lie Fast Asleep

Here’s a fun poem to recite while you’re gardening with your grandchildren.
It’s written by Moiselle Renstrom.

Little seeds lie fast asleep
In a row, in a row.
“Wake up, wake up,” calls the sun,
“Wake up now and grow.”
Little seeds wake one by one
In a row, in a row,
Then they stretch up toward the sun
And begin to grow.

windsock-craft-activity-15-x-15This is an easy project for you and your grandchild to make. It’s especially great on a windy day.
You will need:
1 sheet of 8.5 x 11 colored paper
Strips of paper for decorating
Yarn or string
Scissors & glue
Directions:
1. Fold the paper in a cone shape and glue the ends together.
2. Decorate one end of the cone by gluing strips of crepe paper, colored paper or even newspaper.
3. On the other end of the cone make 2 holes and attach a piece of yarn or string. This will be use to hang your windsock.
Now, hang your windsock in a secure place and watch what happens when the wind blows.
