Care for a Plant Together

What you need
- A familiar, safe potted plant
- A small water container
- A cloth
Let's play
- Look at the leaves and soil. A grown-up decides whether watering is needed.
- Show how to pour a small amount of water.
- Notice the soil, wipe spills and talk about the activity.
Adjust together
Help hold the container first; compare soil before and after later.
For grown-ups
Use a plant without thorns or poisonous parts. Do not taste leaves or soil. Wash hands and wipe slippery spills.
