Seed Catalog Curriculum

I got my first seed catalog in the mail this week and, boy, am I excited. Not just because I’m anxious to get my hands in the dirt. But I’m excited about all the school assignments that come in those catalogs.

What? You’ve never seen all the wonderful school curriculum hiding in your seed catalogs? Well, let me share a few assignments with you.

Math:

On the front of my Gurney’s catalog is a giant coupon that reads: “Good for $25.00 worth of products in this Gurney’s catalog when you buy $25.00 or more of additional products at the catalog price.” Have your child go shopping in the catalog. Using the order form found between pages 32 and 33 have him “order” $50 worth of product, figuring the totals, the tax, the discount, and the shipping.

Language:

See the customer reviews in the shaded green boxes on the pages of the catalog? Have your child write his own review of his favorite vegetable.

Science:

Assign a paper answering the question: “What is the difference between hybrid, open-pollinated, heirloom, and genetically modified when it pertains to garden seeds?”

But this is just a sampling. You can get more than 50 lesson plans using your seed catalogs in my e-booklet Seed Catalog Curriculum. This e-booklet is full of ideas to use with elementary, middle, and upper-grade children. You can use any catalog. In fact, the more the better. Plus, I give you the names and contact information to order your own...if you don't already receive them in the mail.

What do you think? Have you ever thought of using seed catalogs for school work? I'd love to hear what you have to say.
