Spring is here and I couldn't be happier!  Spring is one of my favorite seasons because it is literally bursting with life.  Everywhere you turn, trees are sprouting new leaves, flowers are blooming and the grass is becoming lush and green again.  Baby animals are also being born and the birds are chirping happily in the sky.

This is a great season to get outdoors and encourage your child to explore all of the wonder and magic that Spring has to offer.  Thankfully, Learning Resources has just the solution to help your child learn more about how plants live and grow with the Primary Science Plant & Grow Set.

Bring out the wonder of nature with kid-friendly planting tools.  The Primary Science Plant & Grow Set builds children's understanding of how plants grow through dynamic activities.  This set is intended for children ages 3-9 years old and includes the following tools and accessories:

• Watering Can
• Observation Jar
• Solid Lid
• Vented Lid
• Rooting Tray
• 3 Pots
• 3 Plant Markers
• Trowel
• Activity Cards

The adventure in horticulture begins with the included activity cards.  These are double-sided, fully illustrated cards which depict 10 different experiments to perform.  Your child is encouraged to use their tools along with their five senses to explore and observe the basics of plant life.  They'll learn more about what plants need to sprout, grow and mature as well as discover more about the natural world around them.  What a great way to usher in the Spring season!

Some of the activities included in the Primary Science Plant & Grow Set will take a few days to complete, while others might take a few weeks.  The great thing is that these activities were designed to be performed simultaneously so you won't have to worry about running out of materials and needing to wait a long time to see nature in action.

What's more, this set will teach children another important lesson about plants in general.  Not all seeds are expected to germinate, which is why plants make so many in the first place.  If you little scientist isn't having a successful growing experience with their particular seeds, then they should try again.  Trial and error is a fundamental activity in every branch of science and I love how this concept is built right in to the Plant & Grow Set.

If you'd like to introduce your child to the wonders of Mother Nature this season, then be sure to open their eyes and their minds with the Learning Resources Primary Science Plant & Grow Set!
