Science can be fun
How to use your child's innate curiousity to fuel learning at home! In today's high-tech society it is important that children develop an interest in science at an early age and see that science is a part of our lives. By becoming comfortable with science at an early age, children can reap many long term benefits. Getting children interested in science does not take a lot of time and effort. Their natural curiosity will ease the way. Making it fun is the key element.Mar. 7, 2006
Gardening Fun With Children
Randow reminds us how unique a gift a child's garden can be. Do you recall your very first plant? Your first garden? Perhaps it was the geranium seeds you planted in a milk carton or Styrofoam cup as part of a class project. Perhaps, if you were lucky, it was your own corner of your parent’s garden, staked out and set up just for the plants that you chose. My own garden memories include experiments with watermelon seeds (under the back porch where no one would step on them – and where, with no sun, they never grew), orange seeds (the ones in the garden never sprouted. The one I started in a paper cup on a window sill still grows in my mother’s back yard) and packets of all sorts of flower seeds.Jan. 16, 2006
Gardening for Kids
How to get your child excited about proper nutrition! Children are continually bombarded with advertising for fast food and unhealthy treats. One of the most important lessons you can teach them is how to tend and grow their own food from the garden. There are plenty of quick and easy projects that the children can get involved in. The projects will teach them about nutrition, nature, recycling and organic gardening. That's a good outcome!Jan. 13, 2006
A Garden for Children - Any Age
A few ideas for your child's first garden. A Movable Garden that contains all your child's favorites. Gardening is not just for adults - in fact, children love getting down in the dirt, digging, giggling, and just feeling the warm earth. Having their own very special garden is a great way to get little gardeners started, older children adding their favorites, and adults watching, enjoying and learning as well.Jan. 13, 2006
A Child's Garden
Teaching life's principals through gardening. A garden - the perfect, outdoor summer classroom. In a medium that is hands-on and does not have to be censored, a garden can keep your child learning and curious during the summer and possibly sow the seeds of a lifelong hobby, interest, or even vocation. Of course, science is the obvious "course" in the garden with botany, biology, horticulture, and ecology lessons already prepared. Math, art, literature, and even social studies activities can also be integrated into your gardening "curriculum."Jan. 13, 2006
Benefits Of Gardening For Kids
Reap the benefits of teaching your children to garden. Apparently, we can see how nature is treated these days. It is a sad thing to know that people do not pay attention so much anymore to the environmental problems. What can we do about this? It's as simple as starting with the children. It is good to see the children's involvement with environment-friendly activities. One such nature-loving activity that children could easily get their hands on is gardening. Why should you consider gardening for your children?Jan. 13, 2006
