Description

This workbook helps children learn about plants through hands-on tasks. They look closely at leaves, fruit, flowers and trees. They study their parts, tree types, seeds and plant growth. They also test why plants need water.

The book is for ages four to eight. It gives parents tips to guide their children. Children cut out cards and finish and colour pictures. They also use a sheet of stickers. They study simple leaves and compound leaves, which have smaller leaflets. They look at leaf edges and draw leaves. Other tasks explore nature’s treasures and gravity, the force that pulls things down. Children cut apples and make an apple tart. They study flower colours and how trees, leaves and fruit link.

The tasks aim to help children learn more words. They help them draw and build control of small hand movements. They also help children focus, pay close attention and work on their own. Children learn to watch with care.

Eve Herrmann wrote this book for Activitățile mele Montessori. This set has four workbooks. They cover geography, the study of places, and botany, the study of plants. They also cover zoology, the study of animals, and the idea of time. The Montessori method helps children learn through what they do. They watch, test and use their hands.

Herrmann leads the French group EMA (Enseignement Montessori Aujourd’hui). Roberta Rocchi drew the black-and-white art.
