What's in this plant pot?
There's something in these plant pots... Can you and your child figure out which plants are growing based on their fruit or leaves?
How to play this quiz
What’s in Your Plant Pot? gets kids excited about gardening by showing them the cool, surprising things plants can do — with fun facts, hands‑on moments, and plenty of chances to join in.
In this quiz, you and your little one can choose the right plant stickers to identify what is growing in each plant pot. Each question shows someone with their plant pot. You must choose one plant sticker... and see if you got it right!
To decide which plant sticker to choose, look at:
The size and colour of any fruit growing
The leaves of the plant
The roots in the soil.
Sometimes the person holding the plant pot might have a clue to help your figure out the right answer.
Observation skills can help you teach your child about the different parts of a plant and the plant life cycle.
You can ask them what they think the plant could be and why they made their choice. It's a brilliant way to introduce your child to the natural world, help them learn where their food comes from and cultivate compassion through nature.
