Our veggie garden will be a little different this year! Since I’m in my third trimester with the third set of twins this spring, I had to take a step back and let the kids take over the veggie garden! They have done every step completely independently!

We decided to go simple this year since I’m SO pregnant! Lettuce and Swiss Chard always grow easily in this bed so we’re going to have a greens garden! We got a variety of types- Buttercrunch, Romaine, Red and Rainbow Swiss Chard. Yummy!

Digging the holes and planting the starts.

They didn’t turn out the same as if I did it, and I LOVE it! The garden is so them. 

We made watering bottles out of reused water bottles by poking holes in the lid. I just tapped a nail with a hammer into the cap, making sure the holes were big enough they would not get soil stuck. I learned this tip from the wonderful gardening volunteer at the school I taught in years ago. (Thanks, KP-your ideas are timeless!)

Do you have any awesome kid gardening tips, tools, or stories to share? I'd love to hear in the comments below!

Cute and sturdy set of gardening tools! Perfect size for little ones. Ages 3+

These kid garden gloves are so great! They're sturdy and small enough for the youngest gardeners.

This wheelbarrow for kids was a gift from my mother in law. The kids all love them and we're so glad she got two!

This is such a cute kid gardening kit with a book, gloves, watering can, shovel rake and even a caddy to keep them in!

We have had fun getting ready for Easter! This year we weren’t able to get to everything, but we had so much fun with what we did!

A super simple but cute craft we did this year was made glitter glue eggs! We started with a printout from First Pallette.  It’s best to keep things simple for these ages!

Glitter Glue Eggs:

1. First, I printed out Egg Template coloring pages on cardstock (necessary with the glitter pens) from First Pallette. 
2. Next, the kids colored them with washable markers.
3. Then, I gave the kids glitter glue pens. (These are my favorite!)
4. Since they love to load it on, it needed a couple of days to dry.
5. We cut them out!
6. Lastly, we hung them up to enjoy as our holiday art! This is important to show the kiddos    you value your their work.

I have been meaning to post about my wonderful mother-in-law’s, “Grandma School”!! Once a week she takes the oldest twins to do projects, practice reading and letter games and share her expertise-- she was a kindergarten teacher, too! They look forward to this special time and are always eager to go! I appreciate the time with the littles, especially now that I’m in my third trimester with the boys. 

Here is the activity they did for Easter this year. Adorable!!
1. Read Let’s Make Rabbits by Leo Lionni. (The story has bunnies made with wallpaper.)
2. Use colored paper for the background, grass and carrot.
3. Use pastel, floral wallpaper to cut bunny parts and glue them on. 
4. Don’t forget the googly eyes!

I’ve always loved Leo Liooni’s books and what a special treat to do this activity with their grandma!
