  1. Thanks for featuring my Gardening with Toddler post!

    1. Absolutely, Paris. I believe gardening is an awesome way to get the kids connected with the earth, burn off energy and get a “lesson” in there as well.

  2. I love this co-op idea! I need to do more gardening with my kids. So glad I found your site!

    1. Thanks, Hilary! Hope you found some great ideas in addition to the gardening ones 🙂

  3. Oops, I added my bean burrito here thinking it was the flash Fridays one. Pretend I grew the beans in my garden ;). You can delete it; I’ll add it to the right linky! Thanks! #150

  4. Great ideas! I’m so ready to start getting my hands dirty as well. Summer can’t get here fast enough.

  5. Great collection and link up! I can’t wait to get outside with my kids. Another cold rainy day in New England….

    1. I think you’d be surprised how much toddlers get into gardening. Of course at that age you really need to monitor and make it easy but most kids love feeling like they’re making the garden grow.

  6. So glad that I`m not the one who loves to spend time with my kids in the garden and trying to teach them something really important! Thanks for the ideas, Jenny!
