Growing a Garden
ages 2-6
Supplies
Gardening set, long pants to protect knees, plants and seeds.
Activity Detail
After the cold weather is over, invite the children to explore in the backyard with you. Buy a children's gardening set (trowel, spade, gloves) so that they can help you clear the dirt in order to prepare the soil so that you can plant pretty flower seeds or tomatoes. Go to your local nursery together to pick out plants and seeds. Kids LOVE helping in the garden.
Comments
This is such a great and inexpensive activity, especially when your garden needs it, too.

This activity should help kids to eat some veggies, since it helps them take ownership of making them.
