About this resource

Welcome to The Magical Garden, where carrots might whisper secrets, sunflowers tell jokes, and garden gnomes throw tea parties. This whimsical spring writing prompt invites students to let their imaginations bloom right along with the flowers! With two parts, a writing section and a drawing section, this low-prep resource is a great way to sprinkle some magic into your literacy block.

In the writing part, students create their own magical garden adventure. Maybe they plant jellybean trees, meet a dancing daisy, or stumble upon a worm council debating the meaning of spring. The drawing section lets them bring their enchanted garden to life with all the colour, sparkle, and talking tulips they can fit on a page.
