15 Garden Crafts for Kids

Colorful Garden Fun

One great way to get kids interested in gardening is to create a plot that includes a fun theme -- like this rainbow garden featured on Make and Takes!

After reading the classic children's book Planting a Rainbow by Louis Elhert, Mama Marie and her little ones set out on a quest to plant their own rainbow -- and the project turned out beautifully! Though their family chose to plant their rainbow with flowers (and parsley for the green), Marie says that Elhert's book includes tons of ideas for rainbow veggie gardens as well. So many colors to choose from and plenty of fun to be had while watching your rainbow grow throughout the season!
