Involving children in vegetable growing can be an exciting learning tool. Supplying them with their own kids gardening tools gives them fun lessons they can use now and remember in the future. Digging for wiggly worms, watching seeds spring to life, and growing their own homegrown vegetables encourages young children with tangible rewards that they can see and taste! Now that school will soon be breaking for summertime, it is the perfect time for pint sized vegetable gardening. A small 4 X 4 foot area, and some left over seeds are all the gardening tools a kid needs.
Sweet potato vine Sweet potato, jar or vase with narrow top Sweet potatoes are roots that produce shoots, stems, and leaves. Use a potato that has buds. Set the potato with the plump end first in the opening of the jar. Fill the container with water until the tater is partially underwater. In a matter of weeks, shoots will sprout, forming new growth. Soon, roots form on the stems, base, and grow into the water. Allow the vine grow transplants for the garden. When the shoots are 6 inches long and form roots, let the kids snap them off to be transplanted.  Citrus from seed Seeds from oranges, grapefruit, or other citrus, garden soil, 6-inch pots Have the children save seeds left from breakfast fruits that are eaten. Wash and air-dry the seeds for a day before planting in a pot of soil. Bean tepee One 2 inch by 2 inch treated board 8 feet long, one large and 16 small screws, weatherproof string, 16 small stakes, and pole beans seeds.  Every kid likes a hideaway, (Adults too!) an enclosed spot to play with friends. An open backyard is the ideal place to set up a tepee where kids can hide behind their own green walls that they grew and eat good food from too. Designating a child’s corner just for the youngsters is the best kids gardening tools you can give them. With their own space to dig, they may surprise you at how fast they spring into action! Early childhood is the perfect time to develop a hobby and skills that will last a lifetime. Encourage your little ones to plan and plant their own small garden plot.
