The winter was fun with hot chocolate,sledding,ginger bread houses, celebrating the holidays, decorating our home,but we have to say good bye to snow hats and mittens and hello to rain boots and umbrellas. There are so many exciting ideas I want to share with you! Please begin the preparation of some type of garden with your children. They need something simple and easy maintenance. The children should be able to see something tangible from their planting. (So do your research before choosing your item for planting) I remember planting at Jada's birthday party as an activity table,but much to our dismay the daisy seeds did not yield any flowers. We did have success with sunflowers (Although thanks to my husband, they were Ginormous! His selection of mammoth eatable sunflower seeds yielded beautiful giant flowers.)
Ive read that children who plant their own vegetables are more likely to eat vegetable willingly. My girls are really good about eating their veggies,but I want them to enjoy raw veggies more. As result, we are going to plant a vegetable garden,and try out my Topsie Turby (Thank you Daddy Dave!). So let's get our supply list together. We will need: garden gloves, a couple of bags soil, seeds(Alidi's $0.19 or Menards),find digging tool (safe edges/not too sharp), and maybe some containers with draining(If you want to do herbs try containers because herbs grow like weeds!). So post pics of your process, ideas, choices of planting. Talk back to me!
