The Sunflower Needs a Drink
A few easy ways to explore caring together.
The video is coming soon. You can use the everyday activity now.
BEFORE THE STORY
Look at a real plant or a picture. Ask what your child notices without guessing what it needs yet.
WHILE YOU WATCH
Notice that Dad checks the soil before watering, and that the plant changes over time rather than instantly.
AFTER THE STORY
Why didn’t Lily keep adding more water right away?
Make it fit your child
Keep it simple
Name one thing you notice about the leaves today.
Explore a little further
Draw the same plant on two days. Talk about what changed and what stayed the same.
Try it in your day
Let the grown-up decide whether a plant needs water. A drooping plant does not always need more water.
Follow your child’s interest. Pointing, talking, drawing, and watching together all count as joining in; there is no score to earn.
