When Iris decides to plant a garden, her younger sibling helps dig, water, and watch tiny seeds become beautiful flowers. This soothing bedtime poems for kids piece shows preschoolers the quiet joy of growing things together, ending with an evening sit in their peaceful garden as stars begin to peek out and sleepy time arrives.
My sister Iris likes to dig,
She finds a spot that's brown and bare.
She pulls the weeds out everywhere
And says, "Let's plant something big!"
We get some seeds, so small and round,
We poke them gently in the dirt.
Iris wears her garden shirt,
We tuck the seeds into the ground.
Each day we water, sprinkle, spray,
The sun shines down, warm and bright.
We check the garden every night
To see what's growing day by day.
One morningโlook! A tiny green!
A little sprout pops through the ground.
More baby plants are all around,
The prettiest plants we've ever seen!
The flowers open, soft and slow,
Pink petals here, yellow ones there.
A butterfly floats through the air
And lands where all the flowers grow.
Now evening comes, the sky turns gold,
We sit together, just us two.
The garden smells so fresh and new,
Iris takes my hand to hold.
"We made this garden, you and me,"
Says Iris with a gentle smile.
"Let's rest here for a little while."
The garden's calm as calm can be.
I'm sleepy now, the stars peek out,
Tomorrow we'll come back and play.
But now it's time to end our day,
"Goodnight, sweet garden," I call out.
