Further Information

What's Included: Four separate garden-themed activities, each in individual bag: (1) Flower Garden—paint garden base and design standing 3D flowers with daisies and tulips; (2) Veggie Patch—explore which vegetables grow below ground (carrots, potatoes) versus above ground (sweetcorn), learning where food comes from; (3) Mushrooms—cut, fold, and glue 3D toadstool with fingerprint decoration for personal touch; (4) The Garden sensory tray—green rice grass, black bean soil, play vegetables for digging, planting, and harvesting. All craft materials, paints, sensory materials, and learning cards provided. Simple instructions with developmental benefits explained.

What You'll Need: Scissors (not included for safety), sensory tray or shallow container (for sensory activity), paint brushes, water for paint mixing, newspaper or protective covering for surfaces, wet wipe for painty fingers after fingerprint activity.

Learning Value: Understanding where food comes from and how plants grow. Distinguishing between above-ground and below-ground vegetables. Healthy eating conversations through hands-on exploration. Nature connection and appreciation for growing things. Early science concepts about plant growth.

Developmental Benefits: Fine motor skills through cutting, folding, gluing, and painting. Hand-eye coordination building 3D structures. Sensory exploration through different textures (rice, beans). Imaginative play creating garden scenarios. Fingerprint decoration adds personal creative touch.

How to Use: Each activity in separate bag for completing at different times or all together. Flower garden and mushrooms are painting/craft activities that need drying time. Veggie patch is educational exploration. Sensory garden tray provides extended play. Most suitable for 3-year-olds with adult help; 5-7 year olds can work more independently. Note: grass cutting for mushroom activity can be challenging and may need adult assistance.

Seasonal Fit: Perfect for British summer when gardens are in full bloom. Works beautifully as rainy day activity when children want to be outdoors. Ideal for connecting indoor play with outdoor garden exploration.
