When taking care of the garden, you can assign students jobs such as weeding and watering. This gives each child a personal connection to the garden. You can also invite parents to bring in transplants from their own gardens to plant. Each time, you can follow the growth of the plants. Then in the spring, you can plant seeds and some small starter plants. You can also teach the class about the different ways flowers begin. This provides them with the opportunity to start something in the fall, and then anticipate the bulbs growing in the spring. If you can get to this book in the fall, you will be able to plant some bulbs with your class. Below are several of Planting a Rainbow preschool activities that you can use after reading this book. The pictures are very simple, and the colors vibrant. There is a wonderful section with fanned out pages for every color in the rainbow, and each lists flowers that grow in that color. They then watch the garden grow into a rainbow of colors. It goes through what was planted and when, how they ordered the seeds, and what it took to get the garden to grow. The book Planting a Rainbow tells a very simple story of a mother and a child planting a garden.
