Making Seed Caterpillars

Today Room 1 and Room 2 made a seed caterpillar using an egg crate and mustard seeds.

We were using the seeds to help us with our learning of the letter S that is our phonics focus for the week.

 We glued eyes on to the crate and then filled it with potting earth.

It was fun sprinkling the mustard seeds into the caterpillar. We then sprayed our seeds with some water and then put them in a safe place in Room 3 so they can germinate.

We must remember to spray our caterpillars to keep

them moist so they grow.

This is what we hope our seed caterpillar will look like.

We had to be careful adding the seeds to the soil
