A BAREFOOT ACTIVITY FOR AGES 3+


Get ready for spring and watch your garden come to life with these simple ideas.

  1. Make a bird feeder: Watch and observe the birds that come to your garden. How many different birds do you see?

Grandpa's Garden

This beautifully told story follows Billy from early spring to late summer as he helps his grandpa on his vegetable patch. They dig the hard ground, sow rows of seeds, and keep them watered and safe from slugs. When harvest time arrives they can pick all the vegetables and fruit they have grown. Children will be drawn in by the poetry of the language and the warm illustrations, while also catching the excitement of watching things grow! Includes educational endnotes on gardening throughout the year.
