I think it is great to bring in plant growth into the classroom. I used to do it for preschool groups and Brownie groups and I try to bring it up with the teachers, but they often have their own curriculum. I find bulbs so easy and satisfying for kids particularly the young ones who don't do so well with small seeds. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for your comment! We do all sorts of plant activities: planting seeds, bulbs, taking starts from spider plants and aloe, doing cuttings of Wandering Jew. . . I think they get a much better understanding of plants that way!
