Talking Points
- Plants Need Care: "Plants are living things just like us. They need water and sunlight to grow big and strong."
- Choosing Plants: "What kind of plants do you want to grow? Flowers, vegetables, or fruits? Let's pick some seeds together!"
- Planting Seeds: "Let's make a small hole in the soil and gently place the seed inside. Then cover it with soil and give it some water."
- Weeding Tips: "Weeds are like plant bullies. We need to pull them out gently so they don't take away space and nutrients from our plants."
- Harvest Celebration: "When our plants have grown big and their fruits are ready, we can pick them and enjoy the tasty rewards of our hard work!"
