Today is all about having your kids gather ideas and start to dream of the garden they would like to have (in real life or imaginary)!
Are you new to these monthly themes? No worries! You can join our FB group and print out the May School Calendar to get started! Just scroll to the bottom of this post and pop your email in so I can send it to you!
Keep reading below for Garden Plan Day activities and printables!
Day #2. Garden Plan Day!
Here is what we have planned for today! 🙂 Did you want to download and print out everything for this month all at once? You now can! Grab the Garden School Activity Pack here!
This 78-page PDF bundle comes with every printable you’ll need for this month PLUS extra printables like vocabulary cards, grocery list, master supply list, suggested reading list, and a teacher guide for each day! It is great for saving time by downloading and printing everything all at once! You’ll also receive a May School bookmark and punch card for your kids to use as they move through each themed day. 🥰
Activity Ideas
IMPORTANT NOTE: Most of these printable activities will be FREE for you to download, but only during Garden Plan Day! So, make sure to download them even if you are going to do Garden Plan Day later in the week – that way you can still snag them for free. If you could leave a review behind afterwards, that would be amazing too! THANK YOU!! 🥰❤️
#1. Virtual Trip to a Children’s Garden
Before doing today’s activities, watch this field trip to a children’s garden for your kid(s) to get some inspiration before planning their garden!
#2. Dreaming of a Garden Art Project
Is your child wanting to brainstorm their future garden (either in real life or their imaginary garden)? Use this printable for them to write, color, or even paint in the vegetables and plants that they’d like to plant in their dream garden. They can also color or paint their side profile.
#3. Garden Dreams Roll-A-Word Poem Activity
Want a fun ELA activity for today? Use this Roll-A-Word Garden Poem activity to practice some reading, writing, and poetry skills!
#4. Build a Lego Garden
Using blocks or Legos, encourage your students to build a model of their dream garden.
#5. Themed Snack Idea
While you read (or listen to) the books below, have the garden themed snack idea below! Cut some baby carrots and arrange them around dip so they look like a flower.
#6. Read or Listen to a Book!
(Note: Everyone has different book standards! I highly suggest skimming through any books before reading them to your kids, just to make sure it aligns with your family values first) 🩷
While you enjoy snack time, wrap things up with a garden-inspired book! You’re welcome to read any of the suggested books in the Garden School bundle, but at our house today we’ll be reading, ”The Curious Garden” by Peter Brown.
If you were unable to grab the book from the library or store, here is the read aloud option on YouTube!
Do you have older kids? I suggest having them read 1-2 chapters from, “The Secret Garden”!
I hope that you and your family had a wonderful time learning together today! If you need to print out the May Calendar still, drop your email below and I’ll send it right over!
