Your child can learn a wide variety of lessons and derive enjoyment from watching something grow by working on a planting project with you. Before planting, learn what each herb needs to thrive, then help your child select a spot with the appropriate amount of sunlight, and agree on a watering schedule.
Older children can boost the learning experience by keeping a journal.
Encourage your child to measure and draw what he sees as the plants grow. Ask him if he can identify the different flavors, then savor the meal with your whole family. All rights reserved.
