Take the kiddos to a nearby garden center and let them explore!
Introduce them to the many different kinds of plants on display and describe the care that is needed for them to grow.
Allow children to pick out a packet of seeds to be planted in their own containers at home! (Decorate cool whip or yogurt containers and poke some holes in the bottom for a pot)
Here are some fun stories that go along with the garden theme as well:
The Surprise Garden by Zoe Hall
The Carrot Seed by Ruth Kraus
Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert
Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm by Jerdine Nolen
