Gardening with kids: activities to show where food comes from
A garden with kids can start with a single pot, a seed and a question: what changes after a week? Choose a crop that is easy to observe and give the child a task the size of their hands.
Share the work
An adult prepares the container and supervises tool use. The child can place seeds, draw a label or water with a small cup.
From plant to plate
Make a drawing each week, compare the leaves and harvest together when it is ready. Wash hands and vegetables after the activity and talk about the difference between game time and plant time.
