Get your kids digging in the dirt, planting seeds and plants, and observing plant growth.
Kids can plant small plants.
They might want their own tools.
Kids can help water the plants. That helps them observe daily growth.
What else can you do with plants and gardening? Take leaves and petals and make stained glass art. Or you can make perfume or press flowers.
Consider keeping a gardening notebook to track growth and observations. Here’s a printable gardening notebook.
NurtureStore, an amazing blog for parents and kids, just published a most fantastic eBook called The Garden Classroom: 52 kids gardening activities. I’ve read it and LOVE it! I think you will, too. Go check it out.
Have you gardened with your kids before?
