Description
A refreshing source of ideas to help your children learn to grow their own patch of earth, Gardening Lab for Kids encourages children to get outside and enjoy nature. This fun and creative book features 52 plant-related activities set into weekly lessons, beginning with learning to read maps to find your heat zone, moving through seeds, soil, composting, and then creating garden art and appreciating your natural surroundings. Author Renata Fossen Brown guides your family through fun activities that are also lessons about botany, ecology, the seasons, food, patience, insects, eating, and cooking. Have fun exploring:
- pollinators by making a pollinator palace out of bricks, sticks, twigs, bamboo, and pegboard.
- the basic elements of soil--sand, silt, and clay--by testing how well your soil drains with just a shovel, water, ruler, and timer.
- color theory by creating a table top color wheel from different colored annuals.
- native birds by making a bird feeder from an old picture frame and piece of screen.
