🌿 Friday Fun Day: Let’s Get Dirty (in the Garden)!

Hello, Our Dearest Sweet Pea!

This week we learned about tending our Earth with Love!

We wrap up the week with Friday Fun Day! You know what that means? It’s the perfect day to dig, squish, sprinkle, and giggle… in the dirt!

Because gardening isn’t just about plants — it’s about play.

It’s messy, magical, and full of little surprises. And the best part? When you get your hands dirty, you just might grow something beautiful.

🐛 Why Gardening is So Much Fun for Little Hands

There’s something amazing about poking your fingers into the soil, planting a tiny seed, and watching it grow into something big and bold — like a sunflower, a tomato, or even a strawberry!

Gardening is part science, part art, and all fun. You can scoop, pour, splash, pat, and pretend while learning how nature works.

And guess what? Dirt is good for you! Playing in soil can actually help your body and brain feel happy. (Isn’t that the best news ever?)

🌼 3 Sweet Pea Gardening Tips for Toddlers & Little Kids

Whether you’re gardening outside in the sunshine or inside on a windowsill, here are some fun ways to build your own garden:

1. Start With a “Snack Garden”

Plant something you can nibble on! Try:

• Cherry tomatoes

• Strawberries

• Sugar snap peas
  They’re fun to watch grow and even more fun to eat!

2. Make a Mud Pie Garden

Use an old baking tin, some dirt, and a few seeds or flowers. Add pebbles, pinecones, or tiny toys to make it silly. Great for indoor or patio play!

3. Grow in a Cup

Don’t have a yard? No problem! Fill a clear plastic cup with soil, drop in a bean seed, and place it by a sunny window. Watch the roots grow down and the sprout reach up! You can even decorate your cup with stickers and googly eyes.

💧 Don’t Forget!

• Plants need water and sunlight — just like you need hugs and snacks.

• It’s okay if it gets messy.

• Every garden is a story… and you’re the author.

So go ahead, Our Dearest Sweet Pea — dig deep, get muddy, and grow wild!

Happy Friday Fun Day! 🌱✨

Let’s grow something wonder-full today.
