Seed to Plant - Spring Writing Prompt

Get ready to grow some imagination, no watering can needed! Planting a Seed and Watching It Grow is a cheerful spring writing prompt that lets students explore the magic of planting, patience, and possibilities. This no-prep activity includes two parts: a writing section and a drawing section, perfect for a springtime burst of creativity.

In the writing portion, students describe what it’s like to plant a seed and watch it grow. Is it a flower, a veggie, or a top-secret jellybean tree? What does it need to thrive? Sunlight, water, and maybe a little pep talk? Students can write about each stage of growth with wonder, humor, and maybe a talking worm or two. The drawing section gives them space to show off what their blooming masterpiece looks like, roots, sprouts, petals, and all.
