Go outside with a grown-up in the morning or late afternoon. Bring paper, a pencil, and a small cup of water if a grown-up says it is okay.
Walk around the yard or garden and look for five helpful things.
You might find a flower that feeds a bee, a bird using a tree branch, a worm in the soil, a spider web catching tiny bugs, or mulch helping keep the dirt cool.
Draw each thing you find. Then write one job it does.
Try these questions:
Which plant had the brightest flower?
Did you see a bee, butterfly, bird, or bug?
Where did you find shade?
Did you see mulch, leaves, or soil?
Which garden helper surprised you most?
What is one job you could help Grandma do?
Grandma’s reminder:
“Dig with permission. Pick with permission. Ask before you turn my flower bed into a puppy excavation site.”
This is what the printed page will look like.
