A Seed Matching Activity for Preschoolers: One Seed for Each Pot

Look and count together

The image above is an actual page from Little Science Mysteries. Point to the word seed and say it together. Find the three seed drawings, then count the three pots. Your child can point and talk before making any marks.

Match one seed to each pot

Invite your child to point from one seed to one pot. On a printed copy, they can draw a line between them. Continue with the other seeds and pots.

If the lines get confusing, look for a pot that has not been matched yet. Ask, “Which seed could go here?” These are optional adult conversation prompts, not extra worksheets or a timed test.

Color, then check the pairs

Let your child color the word seed and the drawings in any colors they choose. Look at the finished page together: “Does every pot have one seed?” Stop when your child has had enough; completing the whole page is optional.

This is a paper matching activity. It does not demonstrate germination and does not require planting supplies.

Print a page when you are ready
