Over 20 Gardening activities to keep kids busy this Spring and Summer!
Since my boys were young they have loved getting dirty with me in the garden.
It’s really the perfect little mom and son activity if you ask me, I get my chores done and the boys get to dig, chase bugs and are free to get messy! It’s a win-win!
From planting seeds for our new vegetable garden to carefully tucking new flowers into their beds, kids love to help out and it’s such a great learning experience for them too!
Here’s a few activities to get the kids excited too and guide them on their way to being expert green thumbs, even though this mom has not even the slightest hint of the hue on hers. It’s the trying that counts right?

We used a few of those links over the summer,they were helpful!
With so much technology out there for kids now like video games, tablets, phones & computers, it’s important to put the devices away & get those hands dug into some dirt & enjoy what nature has to offer!
We had so much fun growing beans with the grandkids this year!
