Taking It Home for Spirit Play February 25th

Hello Spirit Play Parents,

Your children learned about Seeds from a story called Seed In the Ground from a song by Connie Kaldor. Here are some questions to talk to your children about:

I wonder if you have ever seen or heard any of this before?
I wonder which part of this story is the most important?
I wonder which part you like the best?
I wonder where you might be in this story?
I wonder how it feels to plant a seed?
I wonder what happens to the new seed?
I wonder why the sun is important for the seed?
I wonder why the rain is important for the seed?
I wonder if all seeds grow?
I wonder what other kinds of plants come from seeds?
I wonder how a seed knows what to do?
I wonder if the Spirit of Love and Mystery, that some people call God, helps the seed togrow into a flower?
I wonder if you have ever felt yourself growing?
I wonder if this story reminds you of any of our other Unitarian Universalist Promises?
I wonder where the Spirit of Love and Mystery might be in this story?

It’s time to be planting seeds in seed trays for transplanting later in the spring. Have your children helped you with gardening? Here are two of my favorite books on gardening from when my children were young:

Sunflower Houses: Inspiration From the Garden–A Book for Children and Their Grown-Ups by Sharon Lovejoy and Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots: Gardening Together with Children by the same authore
