All children need a place to take care of. Children flourish when they tend their own flowers and vegetables, whether their garden is a row of clay pots lining a sunny walk or a corner of the landscape that's big enough for pumpkins.
Gardening helps children appreciate nature.
In the process, they learn about patience, compromise and achieving success. Select a sunny spot in your yard with a nearby source of water. Choose seeds that are easy for young fingers to handle. Toddlers and preschoolers can grasp large seeds, such as sunflowers or pumpkins, but you will need to help with smaller seeds, such as lettuce or carrots, which appear as fine dust. Your kids may grow impatient if they have to wait a week or two for the first signs of life.
