Warmer weather is right around the corner and you may be wondering how to include your preschooler into gardening this year.\u00a0 Below are a few tips on how to garden with your preschooler.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prepare<\/span><\/h4>\n

Before involving your preschooler in the gardening process, do a bit of research to ensure this is a successful experience for your preschooler.\u00a0 Identify plants which grow well in your area and prepare to ensure your soil has the proper nutrients to grow the plants you desire.\u00a0 Identify the area where your garden will grow best.\u00a0 If your soil is hard, turn it to soften it and avoid your preschooler becoming frustrated when he cannot dig.\u00a0 If you are not using raised garden borders, you will likely need to find a way to mark plant rows to avoid plants from being trampled by little feet. <\/span>One suggestion<\/span><\/a> is to use bark to mark walking paths.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plan<\/span><\/h4>\n

Invite your preschooler to join you in the process of choosing plants and planning where to put them within the garden.\u00a0 You will likely need to guide her quite a bit in the placement of plants, but she will enjoy being included in choosing what to grow.\u00a0 Visit the library and read some books about gardening to help your preschooler learn more about the process of growing her own produce.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Include<\/span><\/h4>\n

Gardening with your preschooler may be a bit overwhelming, but keep in mind he is learning and wants to help.\u00a0 Find jobs of importance in the garden for him to do on his own.\u00a0 Remember that it is ok if he picks the peppers before they are fully ripe or over waters the beans.\u00a0 He is learning self-control and self-regulation through these activities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy<\/span><\/h4>\n

As time to harvest nears, involve your preschooler in finding recipes in which to enjoy your home grown produce.\u00a0 He is sure to love helping find the ripe produce and helping prepare them for mealtime.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy the time gardening with your preschooler and create memories that will last a lifetime.\u00a0 Your garden may only last one season, but the skills and memories you are helping your preschooler build will last a lifetime.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
