I was fixing some toys of my 5 year old and he asked me if he could watch the glue dry… I told him “son, that’s like watching grass grow 😒”… his reaction, “really 😱… can I go in the backyard?”, me “yeah, sure, I guess 🤦 😂”.
He’s still there… sitting on the ground, watching… asking every 2 minutes if the grass is any taller 🤣.
Go out every day with a ruler or a tape measure and take a picture with a measurement. He might not notice or remember the daily growth but after a a few weeks there should be a noticable difference if the climate of your area is still warm enough.
Oh, that’s a nice idea, I’ll do that, thanks 😊.
You could mark one of the blades with red or blue paint so that you know you’re measuring the same one every time.
Yep, was thinking the same 👍.
That’s amazing! You can surly leverage it into an educational activity. Meanwhile enjoy the silence!
Yeah, patience. That’s not his strong suite 😂. Though most kids are like that, but he is very impatient to be honest.
Enjoying it, having a cup of coffee 😊.
I loved the plant unit in elementary school. We had a planter with glass on the side, and for the first week or so everyone would rush to check how the seeds were doing. Then we got bored until the first seed sprouted.
This channel can be fun, it shows a timelapse of how different plants grow: https://www.youtube.com/@Boxlapse
Uuu, that’s nice, I like that, I subscribed, I’ll show him this later today 😊.
Don’t let him inhale too much
Oh, I told him, he’s very conscious of his health. He’s lactose intolerant and never eats anything at parties or gatherings before asking 😊.
I just planted two trays of grass seeds for our guinea pigs.
While waiting for them to sprout over the last few days, I have been quite literally watching the grass grow.
When I saw the sprouts appeared this morning, it was much more exciting than I had been led to believe.
