Fun and educational worksheet for kids to learn how to plant seeds with guided steps and colorful illustrations.

Let’s go step by step to fill in the blanks using the words from the box:
sun, water, pot, soil, seeds, hole, finger, plant

---

1. Place some ___ into a ___
→ You put soil into a pot first. That’s where the plant will grow.
✔ So: *Place some soil into a pot*

2. Make a ___ with your ___
→ You use your finger to make a small hole in the soil for the seed.
✔ So: *Make a hole with your finger*

3. Drop some ___ into the ___
→ You drop seeds into the hole you just made.
✔ So: *Drop some seeds into the hole*

4. Cover the ___ with ___
→ After dropping the seed, cover the hole (or the seed) with more soil.
✔ So: *Cover the hole with soil*
*(Note: Some might say “cover the seeds”, but since we’re following the sentence structure and previous blank was “hole”, it fits better to say “cover the hole” — though both are logically okay. But looking at context, “cover the hole” is what makes sense after making and filling it.)*

Wait — let’s double-check:
After dropping seeds into the hole, you cover the seeds with soil? Or the hole?
Actually, you cover the seeds with soil — because the hole is now filled. But the word “hole” is already used. Let’s look again.

The sentence says: “Cover the ___ with ___”

We have two options:
- Cover the seeds with soil → makes sense
- Cover the hole with soil → also makes sense, since you’re filling the hole

But in gardening instructions, we usually say “cover the seeds with soil”. However, the word “seeds” was just used in the previous line. Let’s see what words are left.

Used so far: soil, pot, hole, finger, seeds → that’s 5 words.

Left: sun, water, plant

Next sentences:

5. Pour ___ into the ___
→ You pour water into the pot (to moisten the soil).
✔ So: *Pour water into the pot*

6. Give your ___ lots of ___
→ Give your plant lots of sun (sunlight helps plants grow).
✔ So: *Give your plant lots of sun*

7. Wait for your new ___ to grow!
→ Wait for your new plant to grow!
But wait — we already used “plant” in #6? No, we haven’t yet assigned “plant” until now.

Let’s list all blanks and assign carefully:

Blanks in order:

1. Place some ___ → soil
2. into a ___ → pot
3. Make a ___ → hole
4. with your ___ → finger
5. Drop some ___ → seeds
6. into the ___ → hole ← Wait! We already used “hole” in #3? Can we reuse?

Hold on — the instruction says: “Using the words in the box, fill in the blanks below.” It doesn’t say each word can be used only once. But typically in these exercises, each word is used exactly once.

Box has 8 words:
sun, water, pot, soil, seeds, hole, finger, plant → 8 words

There are 14 blanks? Let’s count:

Line 1: 2 blanks
Line 2: 2 blanks
Line 3: 2 blanks
Line 4: 2 blanks
Line 5: 2 blanks
Line 6: 2 blanks
Line 7: 1 blank

Total = 2+2+2+2+2+2+1 = 13 blanks? Wait, let me recount from the image description:

Actually, looking back at the user’s text representation:

> Place some ___ into a ___ → 2
> Make a ___ with your ___ → 2
> Drop some ___ into the ___ → 2
> Cover the ___ with ___ → 2
> Pour ___ into the ___ → 2
> Give your ___ lots of ___ → 2
> Wait for your new ___ to grow! → 1

That’s 13 blanks.

But the box has only 8 words. So some words must be reused.

Ah — that makes sense. In real planting, you use soil multiple times, etc.

So reusing is allowed.

Let’s map logically:

1. Place some soil into a pot
2. Make a hole with your finger
3. Drop some seeds into the hole
4. Cover the seeds with soil ← here, “seeds” is covered, not “hole” — because the hole is now occupied by seeds. You cover the seeds with soil.
→ So: Cover the seeds with soil
5. Pour water into the pot
6. Give your plant lots of sun
7. Wait for your new plant to grow!

Now check which words are used:

- soil → used twice (lines 1 and 4)
- pot → used twice (lines 1 and 5)
- hole → used twice (lines 2 and 3)
- finger → once (line 2)
- seeds → used twice (lines 3 and 4)
- water → once (line 5)
- sun → once (line 6)
- plant → used twice (lines 6 and 7)

All 8 words are used, and some repeated — which is fine.

But let’s verify if “Cover the seeds with soil” is correct — yes, that’s standard.

Alternatively, could it be “Cover the hole with soil”? Also acceptable, but then “seeds” would only appear once, and we’d need to use “hole” again — which is okay too.

But in most children’s worksheets, they expect:

“Cover the seeds with soil” — because you’re covering the thing you planted.

Also, in line 3: “Drop some seeds into the hole” — so the hole now contains seeds. Then you cover the seeds (which are in the hole) with soil.

So “Cover the seeds with soil” is more precise.

But let’s see if there’s any conflict.

Another way: perhaps “Cover the hole with soil” — meaning fill the hole back up.

Both are used in real life.

But given that “seeds” is available and hasn’t been overused, and the action is covering what you dropped, I think “seeds” is better.

However, let’s look at common versions of this worksheet online (since I know this is a standard activity).

In many similar worksheets, it’s:

“Cover the seeds with soil”

Yes.

So final assignment:

1. soil, pot
2. hole, finger
3. seeds, hole
4. seeds, soil ← wait, “seeds” again? But we already used “seeds” in line 3. Is that okay? Yes, as discussed.

But let’s write out full answers:

Final filled sentences:

- Place some soil into a pot
- Make a hole with your finger
- Drop some seeds into the hole
- Cover the seeds with soil
- Pour water into the pot
- Give your plant lots of sun
- Wait for your new plant to grow!

This uses all words appropriately, with natural repetition.

Some might argue for “Cover the hole with soil”, but then “seeds” is only used once, and “hole” twice — still valid.

But “cover the seeds” is more accurate biologically — you’re protecting the seeds.

I think either is acceptable, but let’s go with the most logical flow.

Actually, upon second thought — when you drop seeds into the hole, the hole is no longer empty; it contains seeds. So covering the “hole” means covering the area where the seeds are — which is fine. But technically, you’re covering the seeds.

To match typical educational materials, I’ll go with:

Cover the seeds with soil

Because the focus is on the seeds being covered.

Now, for the last part: “Wait for your new ___ to grow!” — definitely plant

And “Give your ___ lots of ___” — give your plant lots of sun

Perfect.

So all blanks filled.
