Printable Seed Activities Inspired by The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle

Let’s explore seeds!  For this activity you need a variety of seeds.  Any type will work!

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 favorite are Sunflower Seeds, Bean Seeds, Corn, Peas, Radish, Lettuce and Carrot Seeds.  They have so many differences with them it’s fun to explore. 

Print about our Sorting Mat and encourage them to divide up the seeds into categories. Discuss size, texture, color with your child.

Then have your child select one type and you can practice counting seeds.  Print out the Number Chart.  You can use this activity again and again or you can glue the seeds onto the paper.

If you don’t have seeds we’re also provided printable seeds to use in the packet.  

Now it’s time for a little number sequencing fun!  Using the printable seeds you can have your child write the number on the seeds or you can write them together.  Then have them place the seeds in number order.
