Guiding Question: How can caring for plants help us understand growth, balance, and responsibility?
Theme: Kokedama Kids
Grades: 4–6
Categories: Plant Biology, Nature Connection, Well-Being, Responsibility, Horticultural Therapy
Description: Students create their own Japanese kokedama while learning about plant biology, roots, soil, water, and the conditions plants need to grow and thrive. As students build their kokedama, they investigate how roots support and nourish the plant, how soil holds water and nutrients, and how light, moisture, air, and space influence plant health.
The hands-on experience is paired with guided reflection about personal growth and well-being. Students consider how plants depend on strong roots, appropriate resources, and a supportive environment and make age-appropriate connections to the people, habits, relationships, and environments that help them feel supported and grow.
Students finish by creating a personal care plan for their kokedama and identifying how they will recognize when their plants' needs are being met or when something needs to change.
Duration: 90 min

Take Home: Student-created kokedama takeaway, plant-care guide, and reflection journal
