Care and maintenance of a garden is a perfect way to get your whole family involved in being outside and learning and engaging together. Taking care of plants also teaches preschoolers responsibility and discipline in a fun, exploratory way.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Be Creative! <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you\u2019re making your garden plot, make another one off to the side that will be your preschooler\u2019s garden. A 3 x 3 foot patch of garden just for your child will encourage them to be creative and explore planting whatever they want, but it will also instill ownership and responsibility because they\u2019ll have to take care of their plants. They\u2019ll love seeing how different things grow together and affect each other. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Choose Kid-Friendly Plants! <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preschoolers are not known for being very patient, so choose seeds that will bloom quickly and be easily recognizable. Make the garden a sensory exploration by choosing colorful plants, or plants that will have different textures as they grow. Take a trip to your local nursery together and choose some seeds that will grow the plants that draw attention and excitement from your child.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make it Edible! <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not only will preschoolers learn quickly that we can grow delicious and nutritious foods in our own backyards (or planters in our kitchens), but they will love harvesting edible treats like cherry tomatoes, snap peas, lettuces and radishes. This is another great learning opportunity to teach how we can preserve our planet and reduce waste by growing our own food!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep it FUN! As long as it\u2019s fun, your preschooler will enjoy it. Make sure you have kid-friendly gardening tools such as spades and rakes, fun gardening hats or shoes, and colorful, creative ways to keep your garden fun and fresh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidsrkidsmissouricity.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Missouri City<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Missouri City, Texas?
