Watch
A girl dreams of creating a garden full of chocolate rabbits, flowers that change colors, seashells and tomatoes the size of beach balls.
Spring is here in this cheerful introduction to the seasons. Frogs leap, tadpoles wriggle, geese waddle, and minnows scatter.
Sing
The Farmer plants the seeds,
The Farmer plants the seeds, (pretend to plant seeds)
Ho, Ho, the dairy-o,
The farmer plants the seeds.
The sun comes out to shine... (make large circle with arms)
The rain begins to fall... (hands flutter up and down)
The seeds begin to grow... (children begin to rise)
The farmer picks the crops... (pretend to pick crops)
We all sit down to eat... (pretend to eat)

Activity
Make a Bee Hotel
Find an empty tin can (any size will work!), twigs, and scrap paper. Cut the paper into squares, and roll it into tubes the length of the can. They should be about the length and width of a crayon. Place them in the can, along with some twigs. Place it outside, at least two feet above the ground. Activity and image borrowed from Nurture Store.
