Welcome to Plinto’s Little Gardeners, where tiny hands explore the wonders of nature through play, creativity, and hands-on discovery! This 3-week interactive course is designed to spark curiosity, nurture eco-awareness, and turn kids into proud plant caretakers—all while having a blast.

Three Themed Weekly Sessions (2.5 Hours Each)

  • Structured Learning Flow: Each session combines theory (45 min) + hands-on activities (90 min) for balanced engagement.

  • All Materials Provided: No need to bring anything—we supply child-safe tools, organic soil, seeds, recycled containers, terrarium jars, and craft supplies.

  • Take-Home Kits: Kids leave with their own plant pot, terrarium, DIY watering can, and illustrated guidebook to reinforce learning at home.

1. Core Concepts Taught

  • Plant Biology Basics:

    • Parts of a plant (roots, stem, leaves) and their functions.

    • How plants “eat” sunlight (photosynthesis simplified).

  • Environmental Science:

    • Why plants need clean air/water (linked to broader eco-awareness).

    • The role of soil types (e.g., sand vs. compost).

  • Sustainability Practices:

    • Repurposing materials (e.g., bottles into watering cans).

    • Respecting nature (discussions on pollution vs. care).

2. How We Teach It

  • Play-Based Learning:

    • Sensory play: Touching soil, spraying water, observing textures.

    • Role-play: “If you were a plant, what would you need?”

  • Interactive Experiments:

    • Week 1’s “Sun vs. Shade” test teaches cause/effect.

    • Week 2’s terrarium shows the water cycle in action.

  • Storytelling & Creativity:

    • Custom stories (e.g., “The Plant in the Jar”) make abstract ideas tangible.

    • Art integration (decorating pots, drawing plant diaries) boosts retention.
