Spring is the season when everything recovers, and it is also the peak season for plant growth. Let children participate in the process of plant growth, which can not only cultivate children's observation and patience, but also make children curious and awe of nature. Here are a few simple plant experiments that can make children get in close contact with plants in spring.

First, bean sprout experiment

Bean sprouts are easy to grow, so children can experience the process of plant growth with their own hands. First, prepare some dried beans and some gauze or kitchen paper towels. Wash the beans and soak them in water overnight. The next day, put the beans on gauze or kitchen paper towels, then fold them and put them on a plate. Spray some water on the beans every day and keep the gauze or paper towel moist. In a few days, the beans will sprout. Bean sprouts can be eaten when they grow to a certain extent!

Second, observe the leaves of plants.

This experiment allows children to observe the different shapes and colors of plant leaves. Find some different kinds of plants nearby and let the children observe their leaves carefully. You can ask your child, what's the difference between the shapes and colors of these leaves? Why are some leaves green and others red? Through this experiment, children can understand the basic structure and growth characteristics of plants.

Third, plant green radish.

Green radish is a very popular indoor plant and a good planting experiment. First, prepare a small flowerpot and some soil. Put the soil in the flowerpot, then bury the branches of the green radish in the soil and pat them gently. Spray some water on the green radish every day to keep the soil moist. In a few days, the green radish will begin to grow. Children can observe the growth of green radish and understand the growth process of plants and the nutrients they need.

Fourth, make a wreath.

This experiment can make children feel the beauty and vitality of plants. Collect some flowers and branches nearby and weave them into a garland. Children can be free to play and weave garlands into their favorite shapes. Through this experiment, children can learn about the beauty and diversity of plants, and at the same time feel the vitality and irreplaceability of plants.

In a word, spring is a good opportunity to get in touch with plants. Children can learn about the growth process and characteristics of plants and feel the beauty and vitality of plants through some simple plant experiments.
