Creating a garden with children is an amazing experience. Not only it´s a special activity to do together, it´s also rewarding to see the plants grow.
We are already seeing sprouts growing on almost all of our plants in "el huerto escolar"! The kids are so exited every day when we oberve the plants and see change.
Today I´m sharing with you 2 garden printables for kids that will make gardening easier and a fun experience!
The first one is a set of garden markers. These can help us keep track of which plant is which and the picture helps children know what the plant will look like when it´s full grown.
After plants are watered, it´s time to wait and watch them grow! To help the children understand how long that takes and to record the process, we can use an observation sheet like this:
In this log, there are 8 spaces at the bottom to write which fruits, vegetables or herbs you planted. On the side, there are numbers to represent days. As you observe your plants and water them each day, you color the box black. When your plants sprouts, you change to coloring in a green box. This helps your child see how many days it took for each plant to sprout and you can compare them better.
