The Bean Project started in the three schools with studying the seeds and drawing in charcoal and pastels. Even the youngest children were very focused drawing the shapes and patterns on the different varieties of beans. I am always surprised and delighted by children’s drawings their sense of wonder and natural capacity to create. We planted trays and pots of beans ready to observe their growth over the next couple of months. At Little Explorers Forest School Nursery the Polytunnel has started to transform with raised beds planted with beans and one left for digging. Children visit in groups to draw, plant, paint and dig, even the babies visit too.
