Kids Garden Journal

How is your summer going? We are doing okay. Since moving from Florida, I am grateful for hot days that still offer cooler evenings. We didn’t get much of that in the south. It was a hot day and night!

Summers in DC have evolved. I want from having very young kids, to elementary aged kids, to very young kids (again!) It has caused me to get creative with activity having a range of ages and desired activities. As my toddler has aged, and his little brothers trail behind him, we have kept to our home. It isn’t for lack of desire to go out, it’s for fear to go out.  Chasing after 18 month old twins is so hard – they split and run different directions. To appease my (almost) 3 year old’s heart, we have tried to find creative toddler crafts and science activities on Pinterest. I am so grateful for Pinterest, anyone else?

If you are trying to busy your little one’s summer bucket list, take a look at this Garden Journal. We suggest grabbing a clip board and a starter gardening kit for kids. Let us know what you plant!

…And mom, if you are not a friend of nature, remember this can be inside too!

I like to order my prints at Staples. It saves on ink and is only a few short miles from my home. I pick-up at the store, but of course you can upload them online and then have them shipped to your home.

Our Pinterest community and I  would love to see how this worked out for you. Share your garden journal.  Leave a comment and/or add a photo here on Pinterest!
