Kid-Friendly Garden DIYs
Looking for a fun way to get the kids outside and into the garden? These simple, creative DIYs are perfect for little hands and curious minds. Whether you have a backyard garden, a few pots on the balcony, or just love getting crafty outdoors, here are three garden-inspired activities the whole family will enjoy!
🌱 Painted Rock Plant Markers
Add a pop of personality to your garden with painted rock markers! Have your kids collect smooth rocks, then use outdoor-safe paint or markers to decorate them with the names of your herbs, veggies, or flowers. Let them get creative with colors, patterns, or tiny illustrations—carrots, tomatoes, sunflowers and more. Once dry, place them proudly in the soil as cute and functional garden labels.
🐞 Build a Ladybug Hotel
Invite helpful bugs into your garden with a cozy ladybug hotel! Use a small wooden box, tin can, or recycled container and fill it with natural materials like twigs, bark, dry leaves, and pinecones. Ladybugs love these cozy hideouts—and they’re great for your garden, too, since they help keep pests in check. Let your kids help gather materials and decorate the outside with paint or stickers.
🐦 DIY Birdfeeders
Bring more birds to your backyard with homemade birdfeeders. Try smearing peanut butter onto a toilet paper roll or pinecone, rolling it in birdseed, and hanging it from a tree with string. You can also repurpose empty milk cartons, plastic bottles, or even orange halves as feeders. It’s a great way for kids to watch wildlife up close—and learn about the creatures who call your garden home.
These easy, hands-on projects are a great way to blend nature, play, and learning all in one go. So grab some supplies, head outside, and let the garden adventures begin! If you choose to try one of these projects, please tag us so we can follow along.
