The little gardner activity

Toddler activity:
This springtime activity involves planting garden seeds in flowerpots. Or for those with an outdoor garden, designate a plot for your child. Choose the variety of seeds you wish to plant with your child. You'll find an assortment of vegetables to be best. After the seeds are planted, let your toddler have the daily routine of watering the flower pot. You'll soon be enjoying eating vegetables with your child!

Variations:
The activity can be started other times of the year, but the parent will need a bit more of a green thumb. The flower pot should be brought indoors when there is a danger of frost or freezing.

YeahBaby thoughts:
This activity teaches children how plants and vegetables grow, as well as the importance of responsibility.
