From the moment they’re formed, to the moment they spring to life with their first sip of water, we take the kids on a fun-filled journey inside the wonderful world of seeds.


INCURSION OUTLINE

  • First we explore what a seed is and where it comes from.

  • We then introduce ourselves to a range of seeds through touch, taste and smell.

  • Next we imagine becoming a seed. The kids love it when we ‘wake up’ the seeds with a light spray of water to allow them to ‘bloom’.

  • We then make our own potting mix using homemade worm-filled compost.

  • Next, we collect the worms so they can go home to their farms and friends.

  • From here, we place our edible seeds into biodegradable pots that can be replanted into the kids’ garden at home.

  • Next we’ll build our own seed balls that can be thrown, then grown at home.

  • Decorate paper bags to carry all our goodies home

We sample some yummy native foods, spices and fruits, then build our own bush tucker swag to take home. 


INCURSION OUTLINE

  • We start by sharing a range of tasty bush tucker.

  • Next, we look at what local plants best support our amazing native species and discover how First Nations people might’ve used them.

  • Through role play and movement, we invite kids to imagine life as their favourite native animal, a native bee, blue tongue, or kangaroo and discover why they have evolved the way they have.

  • From here, we place our edible and native seeds into biodegradable pots that can be replanted straight into the garden.

  • Next we’ll build our own native seed balls that can be thrown directly into a garden, or grown at home.


If you have an area that can incorporate a bush tucker garden, we can also add in a planting session. We supply all the materials for this incursion. For prices and availability, please send us an email.
