The learning connection
Exploring the garden engages children through embodied cognition, making the learning experience active and memorable. As they physically collect and categorize items, they reinforce their knowledge of plant types and their features.
Try it with your learner
1. Grab a basket or bag for collecting. 2. Walk through your garden or nearby park. 3. Find and collect 5 different leaves or plants. 4. For each, observe and note its color, shape, and size. 5. Draw or photograph each plant and label them. 6. Share your discoveries with your Amma or Appa — can they guess the names?
