Kids love the magic of growing plants and vegetables, and the experience can offer keys into the mysteries of living things, and open into a wide world of cross pollinating subjects like beautiful flowers & bumble bee's. Growing a garden or simply conducting a few garden activities can pave an avenue to so many great conversations to inspire wonder and appreciation in even the smallest child.
As spring gets underway here in New England start by decorating flowerpots and putting plants in them, or planting seed's and watching them grow as spring progresses with your children. You can create living gifts for special friends, family members and neighbors and use the opportunity to impress upon your children the gift of nature, and sharing that gift with others through this particular activity.
