The Little Tikes Garden Table
The Little Tikes Garden Table is a hit among kids and parents alike. Children can “plant” and “water” flowers encouraging imaginative play as well as practical garden knowledge. The basin on the table will hold water and includes a drain plug and the watering can really does water. The table is large enough that more than one child can play at a time.
This sturdy set includes four flower pots, two soil discs, two flowers, one tray, one sifter tray, one rake, one shovel, and one watering can.
Gardening Books Galore
One of the best ways to plant a seed encouraging a love of gardening and the outdoors is through reading. There are a multitude of books about gardening for children of all ages. Think about purchasing a garden bag and including several age appropriate books about gardening for your child. Place a gardening book and some garden tools in their Easter basket. Encourage your young gardeners to explore gardening and expand their love for reading at the same time.
