Waffles Hedgehog Learns to Plant Seeds [Large Print]

By Kerry Howard

Waffles Hedgehog loves to work in the garden. Today, he is learning how to plant seeds-slowly, carefully, and with great care for the earth.

As Waffles fills a pot with soil, places seeds gently, and waters them just enough, children are guided through a real Montessori-style planting sequence. The story emphasizes patience, order, observation, and responsibility while honoring a child's natural curiosity about how things grow.

The calm pacing and developmentally accurate steps invite children to watch closely and understand each part of the process. Soft, painterly illustrations and simple language make this story ideal for repeated reading, helping children build confidence and a sense of pride in meaningful work.
