Better way to water seeds?

[bachelor]

I've been playing with my daughter but she tunes out every time I have to go water the plants because it is very tedious to walk back and forth to the river and do each plant one by one. We pray for rainy days. Is there anything that we can buy later on to speed this up?

The starting watering can can water a 3x3 area. If you plant your seeds right next to each other you should be able to water up to 9 plants at a time.

Does the Iron watering can cover a larger area?

I was told by a player in my guide you can buy a decorative pond, put it near the fields, and grab water from there or just buy and carry 3 watering cans, I also feel watering in 1st person mode is faster

No, but it does hold more water!

Hi again :)
Yes, 1st person makes it way easier to aim at the centre of a 3x3 block of plants. it's best to make your plots a multiple of 3 wide, and however long you want. approach the block from the end facing straight ahead, and shuffle forward with 'w' when the plants closest to you are all watered.

There's one main difference between refilling the watering can in a pond versus a river. You can refill a partially filled watering can in a river. To refill in the pond, the watering can must be completely empty.

That's not true, you can refill your watering can any time you want on your pond, i refill mine all the time on my pond, are you using the first person view to refill it? cuz i can never refill mine on my pond while i'm in third person, try using the first person view.

I've been able to water two bottom/two top plants at the same time with starting can

this is still tedious and unprecise . How the devs havent fixed that like a larger watering area or auto-watering building.
