Pine cone Seeds

Often, the Yeladim notice and talk about the pine cones on the tree near the playground. On a walk today, the Yeladim wanted to collect more pine cones to
to bring back to the classroom. 

Benjamin: "Let's see if there's seeds inside the pine cones."
The Yeladim proceeded to pull of the scales of the pine cones and found the tiny seeds inside. 

Teacher: "Why do you think Hashem makes seeds grow inside a pine cone?"

Zalman: "So blue trees will grow."

Benjamin: "Red trees."

The Yeladim used their experiences of finding seeds in fruits to make  the correlation of seeds being inside pine cones too. They used their previous knowledge of the purpose of seeds are for regrowth to hypothesize that the pine cone seeds will grow into trees.
