The minute spring shows up, kids turn into tiny scientists. They’re spotting worms on the sidewalk, pointing out every bud on every branch, and asking the kind of questions that start with “Why…” and end with you trying to remember what a stem does. Explore Spring with Gail Gibbons is built for that exact season of life. This spring homeschool unit study is designed for preschool through early elementary and teaches how plants grow, where food comes from, and how spring changes the world around us through hands-on, screen-free learning.

This is a complete, open-and-go unit study, so you don’t have to plan lessons or gather supplies. The unit is anchored by four Gail Gibbons books—The Vegetables We Eat, The Fruits We Eat, From Seed to Plant, and the From Seed to Plant Workbook—which give kids a clear, kid-friendly foundation in plant science and nonfiction reading. From there, children learn by doing: planting and observing real growth with Watch it Grow cucumbers, Watch it Grow strawberries, and Growing a Bean, plus the classic Grass Heads science activity. These are the kinds of activities that naturally build early science skills like predicting, noticing patterns, and recording changes over time—without your child realizing they’re “doing school.”

Spring is also the season of pollinators, and this unit makes that connection stick. Kids explore pollination with a hands-on activity that helps them understand how flowers become fruits and why bees and butterflies matter. Then comes the showstopper: the Butterfly Garden Kit. Children watch the full life cycle as a caterpillar forms a chrysalis, becomes a butterfly, and is released into the wild. It’s real science, real observation, and one of those learning moments that becomes a core memory.

Math and early literacy are woven in with hands-on tools that feel like play. Kids practice counting, sorting, number recognition, and comparing quantities with the Count the Crop math mat and Veggie Patch Math Mat. The Who Lives in the Garden I Spy Mat builds observation skills, attention to detail, and vocabulary using spring garden themes. Sensory learning is built in too, with Crayola Play Dough and a Build a Flower Garden dough mat that strengthens fine-motor skills while reinforcing flower parts and garden concepts.

Art in this unit isn’t “extra.” It’s part of the learning. Children create Root to Bloom Art to show how plants grow from roots to flowers, Tops and Bottoms Veggie Art to explore which foods grow above or below ground, and Strawberry Art to tie fruit to seeds and plant growth. They’ll also complete a Butterfly Directed Drawing to connect spring life cycles and build drawing confidence. The unit wraps with a Spring Life Cycle Diorama that pulls the whole theme together—plants, pollination, growth, and seasonal change—in a visual project kids can explain in their own words.

For pacing, we provide a free 4-week plan families can follow for an easy, week-by-week rhythm. But it’s flexible on purpose: you can complete it faster if your child is on a roll, or stretch it longer if you want a gentler pace or you’d like the growing projects and butterfly life cycle to unfold naturally. There’s also a companion blog post that walks through the four-week plan, shows activities in action, and shares practical homeschool tips that work in a real life setting—because hands-on learning is wonderful, but it’s even better when it’s actually doable.

    Gran guides Wren as she processes her feelings through art
    Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
    This book is a treasure on many levels. Though written for children, it would make a lovely gift for an adult walking through disappointments or questioning God. As an aunt, I desire to be like Gran as I love, respond to, and guide the children in my life. It can be uncomfortable to see children sit in disappointment. Yet, Gran doesn't try to rescue Wren. Rather, she guides her to process and then express her feelings through art. Gran gives Wren judgment-free space to identity and feel her own feelings and then encourages her to express those honest feelings to God in a prayer painting. As with Brown's adult books, this is an inviting, loving, gentle, practical, soul care book. And, as with her novels, I am somehow a participant in the book or a fly on the wall, longing for the story to continue. The lovely illustrations bring the words to life and make me want to pick up a paintbrush myself. Well done!

    A precious book for all ages.
    Format: Hardcover
    I just received this beautiful book and like all of Sharon Garlough Brown’s books it touched my heart. I know and love Wren as an adult from Sharon’s novels. The artist captures young Wren perfectly. When I say this book is for all ages I found the message to be a personal blessing as I travel a season of some tough feelings. I was also reminded how important my role of Grandmother is, Please Dear Lord give me a heart like Gram’s. “Not Finished Yet” will now always be sitting out on a table in my home as a daily reassurance of God’s love of all my feelings and to provide beautiful words and artwork to share with others.
