Face Plants

Welcome to Face Plants Sustainable STEM Workshop

Where science sprouts a smile!

Are you an educator passionate about inspiring young minds through hands-on science and creativity? Beyond the Beanstalk’s Face Plants Sustainable STEM Workshop invites children to create their very own plant pals with funny faces, wild hairstyles, and quirky personalities. As their green companions grow, kids learn about sustainability, plant care, and the magic of nurturing life from seed to sprout.

Designed specifically for teachers and early childhood educators, this workshop aligns with the EYLF, MTOP, and the Australian Curriculum, making it a perfect blend of gardening, science, and creativity that helps learning take root.

Discover the Fun in Growing Green

In this lively, hands-on session, educators and children explore the science of plant growth — from how seeds sprout to how sunlight, water, and care help plants thrive. As kids decorate and personalise their planters, they’ll connect creativity with environmental awareness, discovering that sustainability can be both educational and entertaining.

Face Plants encourages eco-friendly thinking, teamwork, and the joy of watching life take shape — proving that a little imagination can make the natural world come alive.
