Faemom Crafts for Toddlers, Preschoolers and Kids

(I don’t know one kid who doesn’t like getting dirty.  For young children, like my boys, I would recommend starting out with a plant; while, older kids have more patience and would enjoy starting a plant from seed.)

Things you need:

• A pot
• Potting soil
• Pebbles
• A plant or seeds
• A small shovel
• Water

Have the child cover the bottom of the pot with pebbles to allow good drainage.  Then have the child shovel the soil half way in the pot. 

A pot filled half way

Have the child place the plant or seeds in the pot. 

The flower

 Have the child fill the pot with soil with the shovel or hands.  Water the plant as needed. 

Watering the plant

(Encourage your child to talk and sing to the plant as this will help the plant grow better.)
