Kinder Gardening to Celebrate Nature and Science

Today I’ve rounded up some fun things to get the next generation of green thumbs digging in the dirt. I wished I had started gardening earlier with my kids, but your littles will love these kinder gardening resources to celebrate nature and science.

Kids Garden Unit Study Resources

Look at this adorable Radio Flyer big-kid wheelbarrow. Your kids will love to haul their own plants or just dirt. No intimidation here when they have their own kid-sized wheelbarrow for hauling.

Also, grab these fun crocs which are easy to clean and your littlest gardener is ready for his big kid project – well almost!

One thing that held me back from putting my kids in charge of their own garden was the lack of room in one place we lived while homeschooling.

When we got to move out to the more scenic and country areas where we had wide open spaces, gardening was easier.

It wasn’t so easy to do a fun science garden unit study when we lived in the city or in our smaller home which is why I loved these next fun things.

Kid Science in the Garden

These adorable growing your own herb kits are just the perfect kid-sized project. This raised bed is the perfect working height for little kids.

A huge plus is that you can take all of these things with you or move them around as you need to.

Then sneak in some fun ways to learn about gardening with this this flower families go fish game.

Add in some bug bingo for a creative way to learn about bugs from all over the world and you’ve added in a touch of geography.

You can also add in fun boxed craft ideas like this greenhouse from Groovy Lab in a Box.

Then, of course no unit study about gardening is complete without fun books.

With Seedfolks you can add in cultural awareness into your unit study which is a nice twist while learning about nature and science. Grab the Teacher’s Guide to the book and you’ll have a ready-made unit study.

Including a good amount of nonfiction living book ensures that a kid will find science in the garden fun as you avoid boring textbooks.

Not only will your kids love doing what they naturally like doing at this age which is being outside digging in dirt and playing with water, but it teaches kids valuable life skills.

Independence to care for their basic essentials and a sustaining food source are life skills you want your little kinder gardeners to have.

You’ll love these other unit study ideas and activities to add to your own study.

How to Easily Garden Plan With Kids Using LEGO

How to garden plan with kids using LEGO is a way to sneak in some learning. Check out more ideas too at Easy Seed and Gardening Unit Study for Kids (Middle – Upper Elementary).

If I can take a subject or unit of study and apply it to LEGO creations it is going to be a big hit.

My kids, like so many others, love to create and build with LEGO so it is just a great hands-on natural extension to learning.

How to Easily Garden Plan With Kids Using LEGO

This time I applied it to a study on Garden Planning.

This application gave us science, math, handwriting, fine motor skills development, critical thinking, and so much more.

We will definitely be using LEGO again as the core of our learning.

You don’t even have to be planning a real garden, this is still the perfect way for them to dig a little deeper into the concept of gardening no matter what size space you live in or grow in.

After determining how many feet your real garden will be and whether you want it square or rectangle you are ready to move on to designing it with LEGO.

We worked on our garden planning with LEGO in two different ways and I am going to share both of them with you so you can choose one or do both!

1 LEGO GARDEN SUPPLIES How to Garden Plan With Kids Using LEGO

Gardening Activities For Kids

If you haven’t started your LEGO journey yet this, LEGO Classic Medium Creative Brick Box is a great box to begin with!

For this one, it was a fun fully hands-on activity that required no writing from the kids (my sons favorite).

I love how it gets their creativity flowing and provides them with a 4D visual of how our garden might look.

2 lego garden planning 1 LEGO GARDEN SUPPLIES How to Garden Plan With Kids Using LEGO

To begin, gather up a flat LEGO base plate in whatever size you like.

I had two kids doing it and needed to display them for a while in our classroom so we used 5 x 5 base plates in the interest of space.

LEGO Garden Activity

Then, grab a bunch of LEGO in all different sizes and colors, we opted for 2 x 2 bricks and smaller, as well as LEGO plants.

If you don’t have many plants LEGO and want to include them you can purchase a poly bag with a variety of plants.

How to Easily Garden Plan With Kids Using LEGO | Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

Single round studs and square 1 peg bricks can be used to create many items for your garden.

You can see on our garden that we mixed in both and it still looks great. 2 x 2 bricks make great pumpkins, eggplants, tomato plants, etc..

Explain to the kids that while planting it is especially important to leave room for your plants to grow.

Use the pegs on top of your base plate to represent square feet, you can use however many you like but just keep it throughout to represent the scale.

We chose to use 3 x 3 to equal one square foot. Now as you “plant” with the LEGO keep that in mind, research how large space each of your intended plants’ needs.

How to Easily Garden Plan With Kids Using LEGO

Once you know your square foot and the needs of each plant you can begin constructing your lego garden.

Work in rows.

Place the plants you create, remember to check for plants that should and shouldn’t be placed next to each other.

4 LEGO GRAPH FINAL How to Garden Plan With Kids Using LEGO

Now when you are done you have a fun visual for your real garden.

And a pretty display piece for your school room, living room, or wherever you would like to put it!

This version combines the fun of LEGO and some writing and graphing skills in a mixed media approach to creating a garden with LEGO.

I like this one because it gives the kids a chance to develop other skills and also it is so easy to change up and  if you laminate your graph paper once colored it can be used again and again with LEGO to create new spaces.

GRAPH How to Garden Plan With Kids Using LEGO

Grab some graph paper, smaller lego pieces, and something to color with.

We used 1” graph paper because the large squares are perfect for representing 1 square foot.

LEGO Bricks for Kids Learning

Choose your desired garden size and color in those squares, brown of course is best for creating “soil”. We created a 5×6 plot to make our graph paper vegetable garden plan on.

You can do the whole page if you wish, and use as many squares as you want to represent your one square foot.

The Basement Workshop Store

Decide what crops you will plant and choose small LEGO bricks accordingly.

Demonstrate to your child how to place the rows, explain the placement and how to allow room for growth.   

6 LEGO GRAPH ROWS How to Garden Plan With Kids Using LEGO

Let them design a garden that they would like to help build and once they are done have them label their crops.

7 LEGO GARDEN FINAL How to Garden Plan With Kids Using LEGO

Our little red studs are radishes which can be crowded together a little more than something like say… squash plants which need a lot more space around them.

Leave some blank rows for paths.

How to Easily Garden Plan With Kids Using LEGO

Both of these ideas can be photographed and added to your garden journal or used as part of your end of the year evaluation in your homeschool portfolio.

7 Super Easy and Free Nature Lapbooks Guaranteed to Beat Boredom

Nature studies revive the most listless learner and teacher. Today, I have 7 super easy free nature studies and lapbooks guaranteed to beat boredom.

Free Nature Studies

Hands-on learning is best because it actively engages the brain. And getting outside is always a way to ground my kids (ha ha corny pun intended.)

I know it’s not always easy to get outside, but whether you live in a snow covered or snow bare area like I do here in Texas, one or two of these nature lapbooks will work.

7 Super Easy and Free Nature Lapbooks Guaranteed to Beat Boredom

With boys it can be hard to separate the feeling of being refreshed and letting off energy while being outdoors and the same positive feeling they get with exercise. They’re synonymous right?

3 Benefits of Studying Nature

I don’t try to separate the two anymore because being outside or studying nature has a way to revive and renew you and your child’s sluggish feelings.

Look at these three benefits of studying nature and why I was focused on adding more to our year

1. Nature-based learning reduces over stimulation.

It’s easy to fall into a rut of being inside and doing book work. It’s simple. Kids can be over stimulated by being contained indoors.

2. Nature-based learning increases motivation, curiosity, and creativity.

As educators we also can fall int our own rut. We may think that unless we can put a letter grade beside a skill, it may not be important.

Nature has a way of shifting focus and increasing creativity.

When a kid can study the patterns in nature, not to mention see the colors and sights it gives them a natural shift in focus. A shift in focus spurs creativity.

Creativity spills over into academic skills that we can put a letter grade to like writing and math.

Also, be sure to check out a lot of the activities at Ellen McHenry’s Basement Workshop. We love a lot of their fun ways to keep learning engaging and fun.

The Basement Workshop Store

3. Nature-based learning can reduce anxiety and stress.

Let’s face it. Homeschooling can be just as stressful for our kids as it can be for us as the educator.

We know it shouldn’t be like and in our anxiousness we can over push.

Studying nature allows our kids to step back and focus on the natural wonders of the world.  There is something calm about watching the waves whip up onto the shore. It can reduce stress and clear your kids’ mind.

There are more benefits to nature-based learning or being outside so I know you’ll love these free nature-based unit studies to add to your curriculum.

Too, don’t forget that if you have a backyard, you have a place for nature study.

Foraging and Feasting Nature Unit Study and Lapbook

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

This foraging and feasting nature unit study and lapbook is not only a way to teach Tiny some basic survival skills, but a great way to sneak in tips about how to cook. Also, look at my pages Best Homeschool Unit Studies and Homeschool Lapbooks – Powerful Tools For Mastery Learning for more ideas.

My kids have always loved ways of learning how to live off the land.

I don’t want to give you the wrong impression about our foraging efforts because we’re currently city dwellers although not by choice.

Foraging and Feasting Nature Unit Study and Lapbook

That means we have a lot to learn even if we can find a field nearby that is legal and safe to forage. Even though we don’t live in the country anymore, we still have a love of it.

Besides enjoying the beauty of nature, learning the basics of foraging makes for a fun unit study and appreciation for the gifts of plants.

When you can tie in learning about nature with a practical life skill like cooking, I think that it’s a win win.

Foraging and Feasting Nature Unit Study and Lapbook

Foraging and Feasting Nature Unit Study and Lapbook

Making healthy choices for food is important to us as well, but it starts first with being able to identify how to forage.

The Basement Workshop Store

We live in an area that has lots of wildlife and nature, but it’s still a city like I mentioned earlier.

Foraging and Feasting Nature Unit Study and Lapbook

On our nature walks we try to take time to identify plants along the way and learn about wild edible plants.

Foraging and Feasting Nature Unit Study and Lapbook
Foraging and Feasting Nature Unit Study and Lapbook

It’s not just a matter of finding the right plant parts, but identifying which parts are safe to eat and ones are tasty. 

We’ve been learning out of this beautiful book, Foraging & Feasting: A Field Guide and Wild Food Cookbook to use as our guide for this fun summer unit study.

Foraging and Feasting Nature Unit Study and Lapbook

One of the reasons I chose the book was because not only did it have beautiful, detailed plant images and colorful plant guides in the front, but it has tons of recipes.

A science cookbook as I call it.

Foraging and Feasting Nature Unit Study and Lapbook

In addition, at the bottom in the gray area are details about how to use the plant parts.

Although it may seem easier to identify plants, one key thing we have been learning is that it’s equally important in which parts of the plant are the most tastiest.

Also, you need to learn how to leave enough of it so that it can replenish and that may mean taking an inventory.

Foraging and Feasting Nature Unit Study and Lapbook

So, it’s responsibly foraging too so that enough remains of the plant to reproduce.

There is so much to learn about each of the plant parts and their uses for cooking that it has taken us a while to identify and learn about them.

It has made an awesome reference book for tying in science and nature study with a life skill like cooking.
