Our book is The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. Here’s a short video if you have not read it yet with your child.

Let’s explore seeds! For this activity you need a variety of seeds.

Any type will work!

Seed packets with printable seed activities inspired by the book the Tiny Seed.

We are going to sort them into group and discuss their similarities and differences.

For this activity to work best use 3 different types of seeds.

Some of my favorites are Sunflower Seeds, Bean Seeds, Corn, Peas, Radish, Lettuce and Carrot Seeds.

They have so many differences with them it’s fun to explore.
