To extend this activity, plant beans in your own backyard and see if you can recognize the different life stages of the plant. How they go from seeds, germination, seedling and then forming flowers and producing beans.

Then you can open up the beans to find more seeds, hence the circle of a bean plant.

Kids love watching their plants grow from seeds, read your favorite plant books and take for a visit to your local garden center. Don’t miss this opportunity to teach them outdoors.
