A typical child spends only 4 to 7 minutes outside each day. You may wonder, "How could that be?" It's time to teach kids how much fun it is to play outside-to romp in the dirt and run in the sun! Let Kinder Garden show you and your kids how gardening is a great form of exercise that will teach healthy eating while building brain muscles. Did you know that flowers are not the only things in the garden that bloom and grow-kids do, too! Karden, the puppet pal, reminds us that, with just a leaf, you can have fun for hours outside in the garden. Karden (R) introduces 25 fun games like building a soil castle, making a sunflower watch, creating muddy art, and sponge tag! This book will help inspire adults and children to turn gardening into a family project full of fun memories, as well as to get a little exercise, too!

This book offers a simple overview of how children can make a garden. Easy-to-read text, labeled photos, and a picture glossary make this book the perfect introduction to the topic.

Extend your gardening season into autumn and enjoy those golden orange leaves and pumpkins with your children. With 235 color images, see for yourself that it's not too cold to still play outside. Games like soil bag obstacle course or creating borders for your spring flowers with a digging contest are perfect during this cooler time of the year. A little planning and a bunch of fun ideas can help you encourage your children's exploration and enjoyment of the garden no matter the time of year. Karden (R) is there waiting to make garden glove puppets and garden art brushes, go on a scavenger hunt, and play garden tic tac toe. With over thirty projects, the possibilities are endless!
