My Secret Garden Unclaimed

These kits have been put together with children in mind to engage them through the entire process, from seed to table.  Children learn better when they understand the context of their activity.  They will learn that gardening can be fun, but far more than idle play; they are contributing to the family well-being.Besides planting and nurturing their garden beds, be sure they alone do the harvesting.Picture a child invovled in a gardening activity such as planting a seed.  There are so many concepts to explore, discover, and learn.  Children will learn about science and nature when identifying plants.  They will explore math skills by counting scoops of dirt.  They will be exposed to reading and writing through stores, books, and activities such as creating gardening journals.  They will learn social skills by working with other children and by learning to care for and nurture a living thing.  Through gardening, not only do plants grow, but children grow too.
