How a Seed Grows Into a Plant

  1. Planting the Seed
    🌱 First, we put a tiny seed in the dirt. Seeds are like little baby plants waiting to grow!

  2. Watering the Seed
    💧 The seed needs water to wake up. We give it a little drink, and the soil gets all soft and cozy.

  3. Sprouting the Seed
    🌸 After a few days, the seed starts to stretch and poke out of the dirt! A little tiny plant, called a sprout, begins to show.

  4. Growing Bigger
    ☀️ The sun helps the little plant grow tall! It reaches up to the sky to get some sunlight, just like we stretch to the sun in the morning.

  5. Getting Leaves
    🍃 The sprout grows leaves to help it breathe and eat sunlight, just like we eat food to grow strong!

  6. Becoming a Full Plant
    🌻 After some time, the little plant gets bigger and stronger. It may even start making flowers, just like a pretty bouquet!

  7. Making Seeds
    🌾 The flowers help the plant make new seeds, and those seeds will grow into new plants, starting the whole process again!
