A perfectly hands-on way to get your child excited for gardening!
This is such a fun activity to do with your kids!
The best part is that every step includes a hands-on job for little ones to help with. And at the end, they will be so excited to water their seed bombs each day!
For all you clever parents out there– this is another perfect way to sneak in and reinforce lessons about gardening, responsibility, patience, following directions, you name it! Your child will have no idea they’re learning. They’ll just be soaking in all that knowledge like a plant soaks up water!
We love the positive natural consequences that come at the end of this experience. Talk with your child about what a plant needs to grow (Space, Soil, Sun, and Water) and it will be so gratifying to see their efforts pay off when their flowers begin to sprout and bloom!
Colored Construction Paper or Newspaper
Child Scissors
Cups or Bowls
Wildflower seeds
Food Processor or Blender
Grab a smock, and prepare your art area for some messy art (and potentially sensory✋🏿) play!
When you are ready to plant, make a small hole in your soil about 1 – 2 inches deep, place your seed bomb inside and cover with dirt. Then water liberally and make sure you remember to keep watering your flowers every day!
These are a perfect gift idea for neighbors, grandparents, cousins, friends. Who doesn’t love wildflowers?!
