Spend an incredible summer with your little ones doing different gardening activities without leaving home.
The holidays are just around the corner and you’re probably already thinking about how to spend time with your children and they can relax and have fun. A very enriching activity that you can do together and without leaving home is gardening.
Playing with gardening has many benefits for children since they have better contact with nature and make them more aware of their environmental environment; It helps them with their interpersonal relationships, relaxes them and they can also have a lot of fun.
To garden, you don’t need a lot of space and materials. In fact, it is an excellent opportunity to recycle a broken cup, tray or bucket that can serve as a pot; They will also need some black soil, small seedlings or seeds, water and natural fertilizer. You can get all this in a market at a very affordable price.
If you have more space, they can use wooden guacales to plant plants or make a small garden. The seeds that can be used without special care are those of beans, radishes or avocados. Sunflower seeds are also easy to grow for children.
They can also choose not to use soil and instead use river pebbles or special gel balls for plants. Bamboo sticks or onions are ideal, in addition to being decorative and very easy to care for. They can be placed in a room, as a centerpiece or even in the bathroom.
Other types of plants that do not need much care and are very resistant are cacti. You can sow them in soil or special sand and decorate them with rivers or colored stones. We only recommend that, if you opt for this type of plant, that your little ones be very careful as most have blackheads.
There are many other ideas with which you can complement this activity and entertain your little ones this summer, such as making a birdhouse with wooden sticks or a shelter for fairies with the help of stones and moss. They will love it!
