There is still snow outside my window, but I am starting to dream about spring - after all, the groundhog might be right. When Spring comes, I want to be outside in my garden. And when I'm out digging in the dirt, my kiddos want to be right there with me.
In anticipation, I've been checking out my favorite family gardening site, kidsgardening.org and they reminded me of all the great reasons to get kids interested in gardens and some fun ways to get them interested in the great outdoors.
Visit a park or garden and collect photos, drawings, words and other reminders of your visit and put them in a nature journal.
Take a nature hike and learn the six parts of most plants and their functions. Start a plant book and, after your hike, learn more about the plants you studied on the Internet.
Start a "learning garden" in your backyard or in a neighborhood plot and keep a photographic diary of how it grows.
Start a worm bin. Most kids love to dig in the dirt, where they naturally uncover earthworms. These squirmy creatures pique kids' curiosity, and they can help keep many a child occupied while adults busy themselves with garden chores.
