Children are very curious and always want to find the answer to the question by themselves. We can invite children to participate in the creation of plant corners, such as discussing with children what to plant and how to classify and place plant corners. Or we can observe children in daily life, see their preferences, and then infiltrate the experience into the plant corner layout to attract children's attention, and then participate in the plant corner.

1. Plant corner label

Kindergarten teachers can invite children to make plant corner signs, write some simple thank-you words or draw some pictures of caring for plants, and name and classify them. ? Put the child's photo next to the plant, everyone has his own little plant, and his sense of responsibility is rising ~?

Insert a ruler next to the plant and you can directly see the growth and changes of the plant!

2. Plant observation record book

Recording is an effective way to cultivate children's ability to observe and summarize, and it is also an indispensable content of plant corner creation!

Teachers can lead children to contact with plant corners or nature, find interesting things or phenomena and share them with children, and encourage children to make simple plans and records by taking pictures or drawing. Prepare a notebook for children to write down the date, plant height, variety (pictures or different colors can be used), weather conditions, watering amount, etc.

3. Plant growth cycle diagram

After that, the growth process of a certain plant or a certain type of plant can be made into a growth cycle diagram, which can intuitively show the changes of plants. ?

Second, the role of plant horn

1. Enrich plant knowledge

Many children don't know plants and their fruits. Maybe it's because they only ate cooked vegetables, never touched whole vegetables, and never observed all kinds of plants carefully. The establishment of the Plant Corner has greatly enriched children's knowledge of plants and fruits and stimulated their interest in exploration.

In the process of planting, children will find the growth and changes of plants, know the different forms of plants: roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits, and find that the growth of plants is inseparable from sunlight and water.

2. Feel life and care for plants

In addition, the plants in the plant corner have fresh vitality, which can make children feel the growth of life.

In the process of caring for plants, it not only trains children's ability to use their hands and brains and explore problems, but also sprouts their feelings of loving plants and being close to nature.

Third, the choice of plants.

When choosing plants, we should carefully select safe plants that are non-toxic, non-irritating and non-irritating, so as not to hurt children.

In addition, it is better for these plants to be easy to feed, so that the horns will be full of vitality. For example: strawberries, cress, tomatoes, sunflowers, peas, carrots, herbs and so on.

If it's a vegetable, it's best to choose one with a short growth cycle, which is convenient for management. We must sow according to the season. Seeds germinate more easily in a suitable environment.

Of course, it is also important to be popular with children, so as to keep children interested in plants. If the child has a favorite plant, it is better to try to plant one!

Fourth, planting methods

1. Soil culture

As the name implies, plants are raised in the soil, which is the most common way of planting. ?

2. Hydroponics

Many plants can be cultivated in water. Cut off a small piece of radish head, put it in a shallow pot and put it on the sunny windowsill. In a few days, you will see a small green bud. Although no new carrots will grow, they may even bloom as long as they are watered continuously! ? Avocado can also be cultivated in water, but when it grows to 15cm- 18cm, it will be cultivated in soil, but the growth cycle is too long (it takes 3-4 years), so it should be treated as a general green plant.

3. Greenhouse

This is a super simple children's greenhouse. Just buckle the plastic cup. Remember to punch some holes in the top of the plastic cup! When it grows strong enough, you can remove the greenhouse or consider changing it to a bigger pot ~

4. Others

Self-watering germination pot: as long as there is water in the pot below, you can not water it for several days. Is it inconvenient?
