Most trees will grow from seeds. The seeds are found in the fruit, which the trees bear.
Find some examples of different kinds of fruit, which grow on trees. Observe the shape and texture of the different fruits. Cut them in half and allow the children to sketch the fruit and its seeds. The children should pay attention to the differences in the seeds and try to enhance them in their pictures (A&C 4.5).
Collect and dry out the seeds. Let the children make percussion instruments, by stringing them together as rattles or placing the dried seeds in containers and rattling them in that way. They can create their own patterns and rhythms or endeavour to beat out the time to music, which is played to them or songs that they sing together. They can also use them to imitate sounds in nature or mechanical sounds – as in the factory (A&C 3.4; 4.4).
