Seed Mosaic Craft
Practice visual arts, explore nature and strengthen fine motor skills with this Seed Mosaic Craft. Don’t forget to add it to your next gardening preschool theme!
Our new theme is gardening and this week’s topics were all about Planting Gardens. We learned about Soil, Seed, Sun & Water, Roots, and of course Worm. The little guy and baby girl love the process art activities each week and this Seed Mosaic Craft was obviously no exception!
Seeds can be used to grow more of the plants they came from. Seeds carry the food that helps the new plant begin to grow. Seeds come in different shapes and sizes. Seeds need water, soil, light, and warmth to grow.
I’m not sure what it is about this month’s theme, but the kiddos are having a blast and we’ve been super busy experimenting with gardening in real life. We explored growing grass, planting tomatoes, and so much more!

This particular activity was a favorite of baby girl’s. She loves little things. Beads, marbles, and seeds are her jam and you know what? Making seed art is perfect for strengthening fine motor skills, which are definitely important as we move into the new homeschool year.
