25 Rhyme &Chime Sheet "One Seed" There once was a seed that decided to grow While others laughed and teased, But that seed just wouldn t say No, In itself it truly believed. Chorus: It took one seed to make a diff rence. It took one seed to grow up tall. It took one seed to have the courage. One seed that s all. The seed took root and grew real tall While others laughed and teased, You won t last long, you ll only fall. Yet the seed became a tree. Chorus: It took one seed to make a diff rence. It took one seed to grow up tall. It took one seed to have the courage. One seed that s all. SEED NEEDS Here is a seed Leave it to sleep Under the soil Snuggled down deep. Then when it wakes Down goes a root. Up comes the tip Of a new green shoot. Sunlight and water And air, little seed, These are the things That you re going to need. Now that tree is fully grown Now it s making seeds Strong enough it won t be long As they grow up into trees. Chorus:

26 SEED MOSAIC Collect seeds of all sorts of shapes, sizes and color. Rice, beans, bird seed, corn kernels, and sunflower seeds are examples of seeds that you can use. CRAFT INSTRUCTIONS SHEET Think about a design/outline of an animal or a character for your mosaic and make a sketch on a thick sheet. Squeeze some fevicol on one portion of the image. Put seeds on the glue. Work on an area at a time. You may use a spoon to transfer the smaller seeds onto the glue. Continue until you've covered the entire image with seeds. Allow the glue to dry completely before using your mosaic.laminate it with a transparent sheet. Earth Friendly Tips - Keep the seeds that you didn't use. When it's time to dispose of your seed mosaic project, you can remove the seeds from the background and plant them in small pots. You may also ask an adult to help you cut the mosaic into smaller pieces and plant them on pots or garden plots. RAINBOW FISH PAPER WINDSOCK Roll a coloured sheet into a tube and glue it holding it in place while it dried by gently- tape it at the ends, When it is dry, move on to the next step Cut lengths of ribbon (16 inches long) and staple along the bottom of the tube. Cut a shorter length of ribbon (approximately 8 inches long) and staple each side to the opposite end of the tube to create a handle Cut lots of circles out of brightly coloured papers and heavy duty kitchen foil (to make shiny scales). Run a bead of glue around the tube (at the end where the ribbons dangle) about an inch up from the bottom. Begin adding the brightly colored circles. Repeat this step until you have five or six layers of circles, overlapping each row slightly.(bottom to top) Cut a 1-inch-wide strip of black construction paper and glue it around the windsock slightly overlapping the top of the last row of scales applied. If necessary, use a piece of clear tape to hold it in place while the glue dries. Cut two circles from black paper for eyes. Add these to the fish on opposite sides of the windsock toward the top. Let it dry and hang it inside near a window. When the temperature cools down and the windows are open, you'll be able to see the beautiful tail (made of ribbons) of the fish blowing in the breeze.
