Summer Sunflowers

 We purchased a sunflower kit at Target. Daylan moistened the dirt and put it in the pot. Then he picked out the perfect sunflower seeds and buried them in the pot. He added just the right amount of water and waited for them to grow. We have been keeping a science journal to practice the art of observing. I let him tape a seed in the notebook and illustrate what the planting process looks like. Every week or so we observe changes to the sunflower and journal it. Have you ever kept a log of observations?
Great books to combine with sunflower growing:

 

Eve Bunting always has a way with words in her books.
Ford is an easy read about the basics of planting sunflowers.
