How does a seedling grow so tall,
Out of the soil, straight and all?
When does it sprout and begin to bloom,
With fresh red tomatoes, filling the room?

It starts with a tiny seed so small,
Planted in soil, and given its all.
Watered with care, and given some sun,
Soon it starts to grow, and the fun has begun.

With each passing day, it grows a bit more,
Until it's a plant, bigger than before.
Green leaves, long stem, and flowers to show,
That it's ready to bloom, and soon to glow.

And then one day, a tomato appears,
Round and red, bringing cheers and cheers.
Plucked fresh from the vine, juicy and sweet,
A delicious treat that's hard to beat.

So plant a seedling, and watch it grow,
And before you know it, you'll have a tomato,
Fresh and ripe, straight from the vine,
A perfect snack, oh so divine!

Reflections

1. What did the little seedling need to grow into a big and fruitful tomato plant?
2. How did the seedling change and grow over time?
3. What did the plant look like when it was ready to bloom?
4. What do you think the tomato tasted like when it was picked fresh from the vine?
5. What can we learn from the story about the importance of patience and nurturing care?
