Each week, children will enjoy a story told in sequential order—from Planting, to caring and companion Planting, to Harvesting, and finally to eating what they've grown.
After each story, little sprout-readers can dig into a fun, hands-on craft connected to the week's theme.🎨✂️ All crafting materials will be provided. 🌟
