Gardening With Kids - Hands On Science

When I was homeschooling I used Make a Garden as part of our science curriculum. Gardening with the kids helped carry our homeschool lessons all the way through the summer months.

I love hands on lessons! This is one of those hands on lessons that is invaluable. If you are homeschooling more than one child this is a perfect project because it's something kids of all ages can be involved with.

Start out planning your project, big or small. Choosing the plants, buying the seeds, or taking cuttings of plants and watching them grow. Taking photos of the progress, drawing pictures, and keeping a journal. WOW! Several subjects covered with one simple project. Learning doesn't get much more fun and teaching just doesn't get much simpler!

You can find this book, Make a Garden - A Children's Guide to Making Things Grow by Susannah Bradley in my ebay store! General Store n Book Shop

From the back of the book:
"Make a Garden is specially designed to introduce children to the fun involved in growing their own plants and herbs.
The book contains basic gardening information on tools, growing flowers from bulbs and seeds, taking cuttings, garden pests and, most important for all young gardeners, safety do's and don'ts. There are also a number of step-by-step projects to try including a garden in a bottle, a strawberry tub, and indoor tomatoes.
Every chapter contains delightful full-color illustrations which complement the clear easy-to-read text.
This book will enable all young readers - whether they have a large garden or just a window box - to enjoy a fascinating and ever-changing hobby."
