Now is the perfect time of year to plant a small garden with your children. We have enjoyed all types of gardening in our home throughout the years — however, my son is always happy to make a simple herb garden with me. The only necessary supplies for this recycled herb garden are an egg carton, egg shells, soil and seeds! It’s an easy project that your children can do entirely themselves and it’s a great learning opportunity as well. Your kids will ‘dig’ the entire process — from creating the garden, to watching it grow to harvesting the herbs and using them in their favorite meals. Gardening is also a great way to teach children the life cycle of a plant, and it instills in them a sense of pride when they watch their own garden grow.
