DS1 (5yo) wants a "plant card" for Christmas

[MegBusset]

"A card with all different types of plants on it," he says. I am hoping that some kind of book will fulfill the brief. Can anyone recommend one??

ha ha what a thing to want! we have some books on plants i shall have a look.

those little books the ones where you can mark off the things you have seen, kind of like eye spy? are good i bet they do a plant one, we have all the road/transport type ones buti am sure there do a plant one, do you know the kind of book i mean? they are only little.

usborne books are good for stuff like this as well normally.

google plant books for children?

what a bizarre request!

What a lovely thing to want :)

The wildlife books in places like RSPB reserves are great.

Also, you could gather or make images of the plants in your area and make him a big poster - loads of places will do large printing now.

You can used to be able to buy a card with all sorts of seeds on it that you cut up and planted........

Thanks, some good ideas here, I shall get Googling :)

He has also asked for a toy gun so it's not all lovely!!

We got a trees book from a remaindered book place because the kid kept asking what type of tree was which.

I now know that trees still all look the same to me :)
