Spring had come. There was basil, tomato, and a little mint on Ada's balcony. Every morning, Lumo pitter-pattered between the pots. But today, something was odd. The basil's leaves were drooping.
Lumo's screen blinked quickly. "I found it! I found ten solutions in one second!" he said. "Give water! Add plant food! Sing a song! Paint the pot!" Ada laughed. "All at once?"
Let’s talk as a family: “What ways did Lumo and Ada try to save the basil?”
When the child faces a problem, they see in the story that instead of answering right away, they pause to look and try changing just one thing at a time. The child is invited to try this in their daily life too.
In the coloring activity, by coloring the position of the pot and the condition of the basil in each scene, the child discovers once again which change made a difference.
What ways did Lumo and Ada try to save the basil? Have you ever tried to figure out why a plant or one of your toys stopped working? Do you think giving a quick answer or looking carefully usually works out better? Together: Keep an observation journal about a plant on your balcony or at home for a week.
