Craft: Bean in a cup (a clear cup, cotton balls or soil, a dried bean (grown-up holds it), water, a name sticker), with a grown-up. Snack: Chia Pudding (swap: Milk → oat milk), recipe at peabody.kids/kitchen/chia-pudding. Outside: Curl up small as a seed; rain falls, the sun shines, and everyone grows slowly up tall.
This week: seeds and growing
A growing week for twos to fours: seeds, soil, water and sun, and a bean planted in a cup to watch all week.
Our letter is G: G is for grow.

Lavender's Blue
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green; When I am king, dilly dilly, you shall be queen.
