Gardening Activities for Kids with My Awe and Wonder Box
Bring a love of Science and to children. My Awe and Wonder Box is a monthly subscription box especially for ages four to 11-years-old. The aim is to use science, STEM, craft and nature to inspire children through self-discovery and open ended activities, weaving the knowledge and skills required by the national curriculum. In each box you will find a science investigation, a STEM challenge, something to make and some seeds to plant, all based around a different theme each month.
The boxes have been developed by a primary school teacher with 20 years of experience, who brings an understanding of the national curriculum. All the resources, apart from kitchen essentials, are included in the box so that you can dive in straight away. There is nothing worse than opening a box and finding a shopping list of resources to buy, and hunt around the house for, before you can start. So this is a must for busy parents!
Boxes are available as a one-off or we have a range of subscriptions from which to choose. With prices starting from £12 for a single child box and £14 for a family box, with enough resources for two children to enjoy.

Tiger Turnip – Gardening Adventure Pack
We absolutely love this gardening pack! It has 6 exciting garden-themed things and crafts to do with your little one.
The tasks are engaging and fun but not too long or detailed to become so boring that your child gives up. Kids can spend fairly short amount of time making something and countless hours playing with it or even re-doing it which is priceless learning time.
The pack is beautifully thought through. It includes colourful easy to read leaflets for each activity. It also has a lovely little something for a grown up!
Literally everything you need is included in the pack in exactly the quantity you need – loving the “no waste” idea.
Not only it is a lot of fun but also all of Tiger Tunip’s packs are carefully structured to follow Early Years Foundation Stage advice (that’s a government body setting standards for all schools, nurseries and any other Ofsted-registered early years providers).
What’s in the gardening adventure pack?
You can plant your own peas and sunflowers: both are fast growing and big enough to handle for little fingers. Even soil is included – in dry pellets – we love soaking those in water and see them expand! It even includes a cute little wooden spoon-spade.
Pompom lady bird – who knew you could make something that cute so easily!
A glider you can make and then run with outside. You get one of either bee, dragonfly, ant, mantis, cockchafer or butterfly. Love the bug diversity!
You also get to go on a garden sleuth adventure with a magnifying glass and a list of bugs to find.
And finally, after a good run about outside, you get to create a beautiful garden picture with all sorts of stickers: animals, butterflies, flowers, insects, etc. All stickers are made of foam which is so much easier for little fingers to handle.

It’s competition time!
We’ve teamed up with the NCGW to offer your kids a chance to win one of six brilliant Peppa Pig growing kits in this creative competition. There will be 2 winners and 4 runners up.
To enter, your kids need to show us their imagination, and design a colourful plant marker to help them remember where they planted their seeds.
Now is the perfect growing time.
Plant some seeds and let us know how you get on; turn that neglected patch into a wildflower garden; pot up some herbs on the windowsill to start your very own kitchen-garden. Best for children are plants with brightly coloured flowers, tactile leaves, tantalising scents, and fast-growing tasty crops. For inspiration see our ‘What to grow in May and June’ blog. Send us your pictures to include in our Growers’ Gallery, or keep us updated on our Facebook or Instagram pages.
Happy growing!

Outdoor Play Areas with Happy Planet Toys
Having seen quality building materials go to waste on construction sites throughout the UK I sought to find a way to re-purpose and bring them a new life.
It all began as a small project to build a one off mud kitchen for a good friend.
The reaction it received from his 3 year old was overwhelming and from that point it was my aim to create joy, one mud kitchen at a time.
Happy Planet Toys are proud to produce hand crafted outdoor play areas. Each play area has been designed to be able to give the maximum amount of fun and excitement to all who use it.
Created from locally sourced reclaimed wood all our products use 99.9% recycled materials, allowing for just a sprinkling of magic to create your perfect outdoor play area.

Gardening Activities with Little Green Fingers
Little Green Fingers was born after witnessing my 3-year-old daughter’s love of nature. She is instinctively drawn to flowers – wanting to smell and touch them. So I decided to plant some sunflower seeds with her. She loved helping me with this – especially getting her hands dirty in the soil! But she was equally excited to watch the tiny seeds grow into tall, bright yellow flowers.
Watching her fascination with this process inspired me to think of ways to encourage children to experience the wonder of nature and that thought process is behind each kit and activity that I design.
My aim is to connect children to nature by creating, fun, affordable and educational kits for them (and their grown-ups!) to enjoy together. From growing their own sunflowers to making a bird feeder – I hope to help plant a seed that will grow into a lifelong love of nature and all that it has to offer.

Gardening Activities with TillieMint
Children, like to learn by play and like nothing better than being outside in the mud on a sunny day and getting all messy.
Gardening gives children a chance to learn an important life skill and is also a great way to teach environmental awareness by exploring the great outdoors and nature.
By being outdoors and connecting with nature a child can experience the satisfaction that comes from caring for a living plant, over time they learn that, plants die without water and that all life needs nurturing.
Getting children involved in gardening from an early age is educational and helps them develop new skills, such as responsibility, understanding and self-confidence.
Here at TillieMint we have designed this cute little personalised plant pot, the perfect size for any newbie gardener, it is ideal for small plants such as strawberries, tomato plants and garden herbs.
Children will achieve great satisfaction and pride and will be able to enjoy their very own food that they have grown themselves.
