Leaf Shapes and Edges

In my article on Growing Houseplants, I showed how a number of houseplants can be propogated and growing houseplants can be both fun and educational for kids. Not only do kids learn how to make their homes greener, growing houseplants is also one way you can encourage your child to read and do research in a houseplant identification book.

To make the experience scientifically educational (great for homeschoolers), you can also use the worksheets I've provided to identify both the leaf shape and edge of each plant.

Have fun!
