Having Fun in the Sun(flower)

During the summer months, the Toddler Bunnies often watered the sunflowers that were growing on the Infant/Toddler playground. After the seasons changed and the petals fell off the sunflower, we brought one of the sunflower heads into and let the children investigate the parts of the sunflower. Many of the children enjoyed feeling the texture of the plant and the seeds. When we finished, the whole class went outside and left sunflower seeds on the ground to feed the birds and squirrels who are preparing for winter.
