This book by, Anne Rockwell is a great way to introduce the plant life cycle to children. One Bean is one of the books I purchased in Brayden’s Scholastic Book Order. He actually picked it out. It was perfect for a little experiment too!
We followed the little steps in the story so (hopefully) B would end up with his very own Bean Plant!
We found an old pot & plate, some soil, and we placed the little potted bean in direct sunlight after watering it. We checked on it every day. After about 4 days…
LOOK! The bean started to sprout! Brayden was super excited, he came running to tell me as soon as I arrived home from work one day.
Soon, we had a lovely little bean plant. In a week or so, we may very well plant it outside. What fun it was to read and reread One Bean and actually have B plant his very own bean. I would totally recommend, One Bean for little ones taking an interest in nature or just a sweet read about the steps of the plant life cycle told in story form.
