fit,work to increase wisdom,work to cultivate beauty,work to develop",so as to promote the comprehensive and all-around development of students.This means the importance,necessity and urgency of labor education.The existing research and practice fully show that the labor education and the other four educations are closely related,interdependent and mutually promoting,and the labor education has an important role and value to the modern education.At the same time,labor education should be a gradual process and in accordance with the grade of the students,as well as presenting its implication and effect.However,in recent years,China’s preschool labor education have revealed some problems,for example,the content and requirements exist in name only and are indifferently carried out,the form of implementation is monotonous and lack of innovation and falls behind the era’s requirement,at the same time the preschool and primary school labor education have the problems of experiencing disjoint and fault.Nevertheless,as an important topic in the field of educational practice,the connection between preschool and primary education has not been paid much attention to.Based on this problem,this study focused on labor education in preschool from the perspective of transition from preschool to primary school,which aims to understand the problems of labor education in terms of the transition form preschool to primary by presenting the status quo of the planting activities,and to explore the reasons of the labor education’s existence in terms of the transition form preschool to primary,and the path to promote and optimize it,so as to bring close the relation of preschool’s and primary school’s labor education,as well as to provide some references for further practicing the labor
