A sensory garden is a wonderful idea for kid gardens as first of all the
children are aloud to touch !!! and truly expereince plants. An edible
garden is a garden that contains flowers, herbs, seeds, berries and plants
that you can eat. Children like large, brightly coloured flowers and vegetables
that grow quickly. Plants like sunflowers, corn and pumpkins are suitable.
You should also consider using varieties of plants that have sensory and
textural qualities as well. Sensory plants are plants that have special
smell, taste, touch and sight qualities. , here we show you our
favorite kid garden plants for seeing
( suitable for 5 senses thematic unit)

Try
identifying wild foods that can be tasted ( some after cooking) and spotted
in a wild life garden
( spot wild rosehips, wild strawberries, pretty elderflowers, dandelions,
black berries etc)
Learn all about wild fungi and see whether you can spot them in a woodland
garden some are really colorful
but poisionous so dont touch unless you know
See the rain when it
falls on the leaves of your garden plants
Get a torch /flashlight and explore the garden in the dark - how does it
look different then in daylight? |
