Learning in Nature

Learning opportunities for children exist in unexpected places. One of those places is your backyard or indoor garden. Tending to and nurturing plant life until it yields produce is not only an excellent way to spend time with your child, but also a great way to promote responsibility and teach her about nature. Gardening with your little one also presents opportunities to discuss healthy eating habits. Children are far more likely to get excited about vegetables and produce if they had a hand in bringing it to life.
