The book by Eric Carle measures 28cm x 20cm, and has 15 double pages telling the story of seeds being blown to different places and one seed succeeding in taking root and producing a sunflower.
Story Sequencing: There are 3 packs of picture card activities linked to the story to support children with story sequencing and answering a range of ‘Why?” And ‘How?’ Questions.
There are 2 sets of 10 story sequencing pictures: 1 set without words, 1 set with a rhyming text counting down from 10 seeds to the final 1. There are 10 matching question cards, with 3 Why? Or How? questions on each.
These question cards have simple prompts to give children to help them answer the questions, and are used together with the definition cards which have some example questions on each.
2 flower counters and a dice are included for use as a ‘snakes and ladders’ type game where counters can continue to move only if the answers on the corresponding card are answered correctly. This game can be played with an adult or another child.

Same/Different activity: labelling activity for a sunflower and a cactus.
This pack is designed to support early learning about how plants grow. It is recommended for children with delayed language, children with autism and children learning English.
