The garden is the perfect place to practice math and science with preschoolers. Get digging (and counting, sorting, observing at the same time!)

When the wind starts blowing, you and your child can plant a sponge garden in the comfort of your own kitchen. Here's how:

Grow a garden with an environmentally-friendly twist by using plant scraps that usually get thrown away.

Help your child create a garden journal sketchbook as she observes and records the natural world through the changing seasons.

Using plants and other items from the outdoors and clothing they already own, your kids can dress up as any one of the four seasons or simply as a Garden.

Make this easy composting dessert and then enjoy the yummy results!

If you find yourself with a pair of kids' rain boots too cute to toss and too worn to wear, try making this fun and easy planter.

By incorporating natural materials and the powers of observation, your child will become a backyard naturalist while building early writing and drawing skills!
