fun gardening first of all sorry for the lack of a real picture my computer is down and out with a virus getting fixed and i am without photos so we will rely on google s ability to scan the internet gardening has got to be one of the most educational activities you can consistently do with your child growing a garden provides such a learning experience from prepping soil to planting to watering to watching little seedlings pop up to watching them grow bigger and bigger to harvesting and eating the food not the mention the interesting bugs all over we grow a rather large garden and i have my children help with each step they help plant seeds do the drop seeds and sometimes plant too many yes especially with things like lettuce seeds which are rather small i also have them help me weed on almost a daily basis this is when the most learning happens they ask question after question about what we see and do they learn to identify a plant by how it looks they can tell the difference between a plant and a weed they watch the fruit and vegetables slowly grow on the plants they ask about bugs we talk about sun and water and other things important to a garden children are so incredibly observant they will likely even point out trends in your garden you aren t picking up on if you have a garden involve your children if not consider growing something manda has talked in the past about small garden growing next year i can promise you that you will be absolutely amazed at the things your child will learn what ages can do this i would say most two year olds and older can help when kaitlyn was two she had the hardest time figuring out where not to step until plants popped up i had to take a deep breath tell her again and remember she was two and also far more important than any seed in the dirt when brayden was two he totally got it and was fine so you never know but once the plants were up she was fine you will have to watch a two year old much more closely than an older child but even just one year later at 3 kaitlyn was perfect in the garden and she is recognizing plants mckenna is a pre toddler and she joins us in the garden she digs in the dirt in designated areas and she will help harvest food by loading it in the big bowl she is 16 months old so filling containers is right up her alley right now another great bonus of the vegetable garden is that you will find your children eager and excited to eat the food they have watched grow even if it is a food they usually wouldn t eat i could go on and on i love the garden notice i said the garden and not to garden ha posted by valerie plowman at 1 00 am email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels garden science simple summer 3 comments val said hope your computer is back soon i would love to see pictures of your garden for inspiration august 9 2010 at 7 41 pm kristy powers said even when it s exasperating it is really fun to have a garden for a pre toddler to explore i feel like i m admitting to a bad mommy moment but i laughed so hard yesterday when i saw my 14 month old put his mouth up to a green pepper that was still hanging on the plant yes having them help weed and dig would be better august 10 2010 at 5 41 am harry kevin said this gardening post brought a smile to my face simple summer activities like these are such a great way to relax and refresh the mind sometimes when studies become overwhelming and i m juggling deadlines i catch myself thinking help my assignment to stay on top of my work without stress it s nice to take breaks like this and
