Where Do They Grow?

Materials Needed:
Large poster board
Crayons/paints (blue and brown)
Velcro
Pictures of vegetables (empty seed packets work well)
Laminating material

What to Do:
Using crayons/paints, color/paint the bottom half of poster board brown and the top half blue.
Using the black marker, write the word "above" at the top of the poster board and "below" at the bottom.
Place several pieces of Velcro in the top section and several in the bottom section of the poster board. (Space them so that the pictures, when stuck to the Velcro, do not overlap.)
Laminate the vegetable pictures and stick Velcro to the backs of them.
Instruct the children to place the vegetables they think grow under the ground on the brown part and the vegetables that grow above the ground on the blue part.

* Suggestions for vegetables: potatoes, onions, carrots, squash, beans, tomatoes, corn, watermelons, celery, and peas.
