Activity: Gardening with or without a garden.
Equipment:
Multi-purpose compost, gravel, seeds, or plants, child’s toy lorry, toy crane, pegs, plant pot, water.
What to do:
-
You will need multi-purpose compost for growing seeds and big plants.
-
Add gravel or pebbles to the bottom of a plant pot before filling it with compost. The water will then drain away so that the roots of the plants do not get soggy.
-
Seeds – buy seeds in packets. Read the packet with child(ren) to find out details.
or
-
Try growing plants by taking seeds from vegetables or fruit that you eat from plants in the garden, if you have one.
-
Plants – you can have an instant garden with fully grown plants. Small, young ones do not take up much space.
-
Each bought plant will come with a label. Read it with your child to find out what they need in order to grow well.
Variations
Use toy vehicles to transport the plants.
Have a tub of compost for children to play with. Use the pegs to put plant labels on sticks by plants.
