Fun Ways To Make Gardening Kid’s Favourite Pastime

Gardening is a scientifically proven healthy hobby for kids and can be made more fun by some creative ideas and tips.

Soft & Furry Plants


Before you indulge your kids in gardening, try to teach them about different types of plants by introducing them to real plants.
In this way, they would be able to smell and feel the texture of plants.
Generally, plants with soft and furry textures and pleasant smells fascinate kids. That’s how they will feel motivated to grow such plants in their own.
If you have kids’ garden furniture, you can gather little ones around the table for this interactive demonstration.

Crafty Planters & Pots


Art, when combined with gardening, makes a beautiful combination.
Kids love colours and arts.
So, if you want them to engage in gardening then you should think of something that fuses art and gardening.
Have you thought about painting the plant pots?
If no, then consider it now.
You need kids’ wooden table and chairs in your garden for this purpose.
Place all the colour palettes, terracotta pots and other supplies on the table and let your kids loose with colour palettes.
Don’t forget to display those pots in your garden to boost the confidence level of your kids.

Gardening Tools


There are many gardening tools that can promote the interest of the child for gardening.
For example, a shovel, a bug box or a magnifying glass are tools that help your child get interested in gardening.
While gardening, kids will find many mini-beasts inhabiting the soil. You can give them a magnifying glass to view these insects closely.
In this way, gardening and hunting the worms or millipedes can become a kid’s favourite hobby.

Practical Gardening Experience


Make your kids plant different flower and fruit seeds.
Show them how to sow seeds or plant a pumpkin.
Teach them how to water and feed plants.
Try planting seasonal fruits so that your kids can pick and enjoy the ripe fruits within a short period of time.
It enhances their sense of accomplishment.

A Treasure Hunt


There is another way you can persuade your kids to spend more time in garden planting seeds.
Set up a treasure hunt game at the end of gardening practice.
Decorate your kids’ wooden table and chairs for the game and place a treasure box on the table.
Kids can put all their findings like rocks, shiny objects or other things they have found from the garden in that box. Satisfaction of finding the objects is a very positive element in developing kid’s personalities.
It will keep the kids curious when they are searching for treasure and they will feel excited about gardening every time you take them out.
Hence, you can make gardening more exciting and fun by employing these ideas. Do let us know how you make gardening interesting for your kids. Feel free to share your views in the comment section.
