Ready for some DIY garden crafts for kids? Below are four projects that are not only simple and fun crafts, they are full of so much creativity!
We are getting our garden beds ready and are really excited for planting season. Just a few more weeks and we’ll be transplanting our seed starts and direct sowing some seeds.
There’s just something so special about having your own garden, raising your own food, and then giving that food to your family. Can’t wait to harvest this year!
My kids love getting involved in the gardening process. So I thought doing some gardening crafts with them would be a great way to teach and involve them even more! Below I’ve chosen four crafts. They each include a supply list and links to instructions. I hope you and your kiddos have a blast with these fun ideas!

So many possibilities when it comes to painting rocks for your garden! I think the ladybugs are my favorite, but there are so many great ideas to choose from! Older kids can get really creative with these, especially using paint pens. Acrylic paint would work if you are keeping the rocks indoors, but using a sealer or an outdoor paint would be best if keeping them outside. You can find the full list of instructions here.
