Gardening can be a wonderful activity to enjoy with your preschooler, and growing an herb garden is a great way to introduce them to the world of gardening! Not only is it a fun and rewarding experience, but it can also be an opportunity to teach your child about the benefits of fresh herbs in cooking and the importance of taking care of plants. In this blog, we will explore some tips for growing an herb garden with your preschooler.
Start with simple herbs
When introducing your preschooler to herb gardening, it’s best to start with simple herbs like basil, chives, and parsley! These herbs are easy to grow and care for, making it easier for your child to see results and stay engaged in the process.
Involve your child in the process
One of the best things about gardening with your preschooler is that it’s an opportunity to involve them in the process! Let your child help you choose which herbs to plant, and have them help you with watering and harvesting. This will not only help them learn about the plants but also give them a sense of ownership and responsibility.
Make it fun and interactive
Make herb gardening a fun and interactive experience by incorporating games and activities into the process! For example, you can have your preschooler identify different herbs by their scent or taste, or create a scavenger hunt to find different herbs in the garden.
Teach your child about the benefits of herbs
In addition to the fun of growing and caring for plants, herb gardening can also be a great opportunity to teach your preschooler about the benefits of fresh herbs in cooking! Talk to them about the different flavors and uses of each herb, and have them help you cook with them in the kitchen.
Growing an herb garden with your preschooler can be a fun and rewarding experience for both you and your child. By starting with simple herbs, involving your child in the process, making it fun and interactive, and teaching them about the benefits of herbs, you can create a love of gardening that will last a lifetime.
