Life Cycle of a Bean Plant Activities for Kids

Planting is a great spring or summer activity to do with your child. My preschoolers love getting their hands dirty, planting seeds, and then watching them grow. I love how excited they get as they run to check the garden every morning to see what changes are happening. Life Cycle of a Bean Plant Activities for Kids are perfect for any plant lover learning about the stages of a plant life cycle. Plus, kids love these easy to use digital science activities!

Learning About Life Cycles:

Not only is the science content important to learn, but it also helps children to have a greater appreciation for the world around them.

Learning about life cycles can lead to wonderful discussions about why it’s important to take care of our earth, respect our environment, and protect plants and animals.
