Baby (Milkweed) Seeds

 During the fall months, the children at our little yellow school have been collecting seeds and other natural treasures during our outdoor time.  There is so much to explore around our school!

Deciduous/Coniferous


Of all the seeds collected, our favourite are those of the milkweed plant.  



Milkweed Pods

One of our playgrounds, the 'soccer field', has a butterfly garden.  It is so nice to share our outdoor space with the butterflies.  We can't wait to plant the milkweed seeds we collected in our butterfly garden next spring.

Baby Seeds ~ A Rhyme

In a milkweed cradle

Snug and warm,





Baby seeds are hiding



Safe from harm.




Open wide the cradle.




Hold it high.





Come Mr. Wind,



Help them fly!
