Making A Back to The Roots Terrarium Garden With My Toddler Class

 

My class has loved checking on our garden every day and I am thrilled to find something they are all interested in and excited about. 

This is the perfect gift for kids who are excited to get their hands dirty and get their creativity flowing off-screen which I am a firm believer in making a conscious effort as a parent and teacher to do things off line with your kids. 

The kits from Back to the Roots comes with everything you need to decorate and grow your own garden. 

 

Since my class is only 2-2.5 years old I did a demonstration for them. I talked about gardening. Told them what we were going to do and set them around the table to watch me put our garden together. The kit comes with stickers and each child was able to select and put a sticker on our garden. Watch our video to see how excited they were to make a terrarium.

Honestly we started it last Thursday and by Tuesday we had 5 inch micro greens. Yesterday I allowed those who wanted to try some, a taste, 6 out of 9 wanted to try it and four asked for more. I say that’s a win!

I need to grab some more packets so we can grow some more. The kids love when I bring our garden to circle time every day.
