Garden Crafts for Kids: 50 Great Reasons to Get Your Hands Dirty Hardcover – December 31, 1899

This book is a gem. I can't more highly recommend this to anyone wanting to introduce your children to gardening in fun ways. From the smallest detail you will find information on it. The ideas and crafts are darling. All written in plain language any one including children can understand. I use this as a reference book for gardening because the information is so solid. It teams nicely with the Lois Ehlert books like Growing Vegetable Soup and Growing a Rainbow. All Lois Ehlert books are done so well (you can tell she loves nature and to garden).

Entertaining and Informative, well written and well organized series of activities to help parents and children and learn together and stay active throughout the year. The pictures are excellent and show kids having real fun doing creative and productive projects in the garden. We are parents and grandparents and I would recommend this book to anyone looking to learn more about gardening and looking for ways to interact with their children or grandchildren in both fun, productive and educational projects. This book would also be useful to camp counselors and school teachers. A book well worth having in your library.

This book is great for adult gardeners too- Not just kids! There are no kids in my household, but I have used this book as a reference ever since I started gardening (about 5 years ago). It has lots of useful and easy to read information about improving soil, planting, and caring for your garden plus tuns of inspiring and creative projects, most of which are just as fun for creative adults as children. Examples include making a seed caddy, hanging gift basket, cold frame, scarecrow, and vermicomposting bin, growing potatoes in tires, photographing your garden and much more. I recommend this book to all beginning gardeners.

There are so many ideas to try in this book you will be busy in the garden with the little ones for days. I couldn't get enough of the ideas in this book. The tips on edible blooms has helped me put natural spins on my baked goods that wow and impress all my loved ones. I don't borrow this one out because I love it so much.

I am the author so I don't think I have any subjectivity as to the merit of this book. This is a book for the new and seasoned gardener. I've been gardening for years and I think it has an overview of feeding the soil, planting for a successful experience, being creative, and growing much of your own vitality.

VERY USEFUL.....

I borrowed this book from our local library and loved it so much that I wanted a copy of my own! This book is very easy to read and the projects are simple (supplies needed are mostly found in your kitchen).I highly recommend this book.

I was incredibly blessed to have stumbled across this book in our public library. It has become one of those rare additions to our home collection. For beginner gardeners, or even the seasoned, there is an abundance of helpful information within the covers. The pictures are beautiful and captivating for children. The craft ideas are inexpensive, fun, and very practical. Highly recommendo!!
