Plant Helper Picture Match

Lemongrass and a mosquito. Aloe and a burn. Ginger and a sore stomach. Match the pictures.

This is where the medicinal thread starts and it is the single most repeated thing parents mention back to us. Children go home and announce what plants are for. It is the moment described on the front of our materials and it begins here, at four years old, with a picture matching task.

Every pairing on the sheet is a genuine traditional use in Southeast Asia, which we checked rather than assumed.

The page has the pairs, the pictures, and a short line for each explaining the use in words you can say to a four year old. It also has the caution that these are not medical instructions, worded for the adult, not the child.
