Mosquito Helper Match up
by Eric Gonzalez-Payne

Which plant goes where. Near the door, by the sandpit, next to the water tank.
This takes the mosquito plant knowledge and adds placement, which is genuinely useful reasoning. A plant near where people sit works. The same plant at the back fence does nothing.
Four year olds get this faster than adults expect, because they know exactly where they get bitten.
The page has the plants, a simple site map to place them on, and a version of the map you can redraw for your own centre, which is the version we actually use. Doing it on your real site turns a matching exercise into a planting plan, and the children then plant it. That is the whole arc of this sheet in one session.
