About This Product 🍃
This comprehensive botany unit study breaks down the developmental journey of the hazel tree (Corylus) from hard-shelled nut to full bushy shrub using crisp, true-to-life images. Children explore each key stage of growth—including rounded seeds, subterranean germination, leafy young saplings, and mature fruiting shrubs with leafy green husks—through three versatile, interactive learning activities designed to build fine motor skills, scientific vocabulary, and independent inquiry! ✂️📋
