As summer blossoms into full swing, this is the perfect time to get the kids outside with some DIY gardening projects. Not only will they enjoy themselves, but this sparks curiosity, educates them, and can foster a deeper connection with the environment. Here are some DIY projects that your kids can do this summer!
Bug hotels are a terrific way for your kids to learn the values of how important insects are to the ecosystem. You will need materials such as sticks, bamboo canes, pinecones, and old pots. Let your kids get creative by arranging them into a cozy hotel for bugs.
An Herb Garden in a pot is also a wonderful way to get your kids to enjoy DIY gardening. You can choose herbs such as mint, basil, and rosemary. This will give your little ones a chance to get their hands dirty, planting the seeds. As the herbs grow, you can teach them the different scents and flavors and even use these herbs for cooking together.
A nature scavenger hunt is an exciting adventure for not only your children but also you! All you will have to do is create a list of items for the kids to find. Some items you can include are a smooth rock, a certain type of flower, a leaf, etc. You can use your imagination! While they are searching, they will be able to educate themselves on some elements in nature and have a good time doing it!
DIY Bird Feeders are a perfect addition to your garden. You can get crafty with materials like pinecones, peanut butter, and birdseed. With these materials your little ones can design the feeder however they would like. You can hang them up in the garden and watch birds flock to it. This will also give your children endless opportunities for bird watching, which could also be a fun activity to do together.
With these DIY garden projects, summer becomes the season of discovery, creativity, and outdoor exploration for kids. From planting seeds to building bug hotels, each activity offers valuable lessons about nature and the environment. So, grab your gardening gloves, gather your little helpers, and embark on a journey of garden adventures this summer! Come to Liberty Landscape to get the supplies you need for your next DIY garden!
