Cress letters

Cress letters! This is always such a fun thing to do. There are fine motor skills to practice as we sprinkle the tiny seeds on, social skills too as we take turns, learning to care for something as we must remember to water each day, learning to recognise the shape of their own letter to help with early literacy skills. And of course the joy of watching something we’ve planted growing. We had egg and cress sandwiches and the children enjoyed tasting the slightly spicy peppery cress and deciding whether they liked it or not!
