Early Childhood: it starts with a seed

Seed saving is a fun, sensory task that engages young children's curiosity and wonderment. Discover how this experience supports your planning and contributes to your service's assessment and rating.

This online workshop is suitable for all Early Childhood educators who would like to learn how to save seeds with children.

During this 45 minute online workshop, we will:

• demonstrate a variety of seed saving techniques for children of different ages and stages
• explore the Shared Table for extension experiences to support planning
• hear from EC educators about how they are using this activity and their broader kitchen garden program to contribute to their service's assessment and rating
• learn how the Shared Table can be used as a QIP documentation tool
