Planting the Garden Song

[15 Minutes]

This song celebrates gardening! It can help your child discover what plants need to grow.


What to do:

  1. Talk with your child about what you have planted or will be planting in your garden.
  2. Sing this song as you work together in the garden. (Tune: "Farmer in the Dell")
    It's time to plant the seeds,
    It's time to plant the seeds,
    Heigh-Ho, the derry-o,
    It's time to plant the seeds.

    The warm sun shines all day,
    The warm sun shines all day,
    Heigh-Ho the derry-o,
    The warm sun shines all day.

    The rain comes gently down,
    The rain comes gently down,
    Heigh-Ho...

    The plant pops through the soil,
    The plant pops through the soil,
    Heigh-Ho...

    See our garden grow,
    See our garden grow,
    Heigh-Ho...

    We need to water and hoe,
    We need to water and hoe,
    Heigh-Ho...

    We help our garden grow,
    We help our garden grow,
    Heigh-Ho...
  3. Repeat the song and invite your child to act out each verse.

Let's Talk: Ideas to Explore Together.

  • What is your favorite vegetable? Fruit?
  • Where do we get fruit and vegetables from besides our garden?

Useful information:

While you are having fun together, your child is developing language skills, thinking skills, and an understanding of nature.
