In today’s day and age, we all know how hard it is to get the children away from their phones and tablets and outside into the fresh air. We think in order to achieve this, outdoor tasks such as gardening need to become more fun. Therefore, we’ve put together a list of how you could get the kids involved with the gardening!
Possession Of Their Own Tools
Not only does owning more ‘kid-friendly’ tools make it easier for the children to use, but it may also make them feel as though they have more responsibility as they oversee their own equipment. Alongside this, the bright colours that little gardening tools usually have, may appeal to children more than the adult ones.
Give Them Their Own Plot of Land
Giving children their own designated area in the garden gives them chance to explore and plant on their own. For most children, this gives them a sense of responsibility, meaning they will look forward to the gardening. This can also benefit the parents as it means the young ones can dig and play as much as they want without ruining other plots!
Let Them Get Creative
Another way to make gardening fun for the kids is to let their creativity flow by choosing their own plants and creating their own flower arrangement. Some exciting flowers to grow would be sweet peas, sunflowers, pea pods and strawberries. With species like sunflowers, you could even turn the growing process into a competition. For instance, who can grow the tallest one?
Enjoy The Delicious Fruits
Once the growing is complete, allowing the children to eat the finished fruits and vegetables will not just give them a tasty treat but also a sense of pride and accomplishment.
