Gardening With Kids!
Gardening with kids can be a fun and educational experience all rolled up in one! I love making everyday things fun and educational!
We have a small garden and intend to expand it each season. I check on it twice everyday and I can’t make it out of the house without hearing tiny feet chasing me “Nana, outside?” She LOVES to come out to the garden with me. She loves to watch the bees and look at the weeds flowers or as she calls them “flowies”, and dig in the dirt.
One of our grandsons loves to come to the garden with me, too. He wants to grow sunflowers at his house, but he always asks what is what in the garden and takes a real interest.
I have an older grandson who actually helped me dig out the newest section of the garden this time and he asked many questions and seemed to enjoy himself.
This all led me to learn more about gardening with children, and especially gardening with toddlers since that’s the one that lives here. I looked around and gathered info on gardening for toddlers and gardening with preschoolers to be able to help them learn and have fun at the same time! Also, don’t forget the kid’s gardening tools, you can find all sorts of things here<—
