Over the summer months, I shared with all of you my gardening story as well as what we planted and the crops that grew over the summer. Along with gardening, we are trying to also show our son how to garden and be more green in the daily tasks in life.
This past week, I was ask to review the product, The Gigglin’ Garden Gang. This product is a book and CD along with a little garden to show your children how to be green as well as teaching them about growth. This story is written through the eyes of Suzi the Sunflower. This is not only a great activity for kids, but also the perfect science activity for homeschooling children.
I started out by planting the seeds for the sunflowers, of course being that it’s cold and winter we will see how well they grow. My favorite part of this activity was the book. It is such a cute book with amazing illustrations. I’m a book worm, so I guess it would make sense that I was drawn to the book.
My son loved it too, especially the sticker that comes with it! The information in the entire kit is perfect for a science homeschooling activity for young kids. I am not a natural teacher, so products like this that allow for a fairly self explanatory lesson are just what I need!
The point of the book is to show kids about making things grow as well as going green and ways to do so. We are currently working on going green in our family. We have had quite the time adapting, seeing as the city we were living in made it a little easier than this city. We are trying to get a system down that will help us remember to recycle and instill those values in our son.
What are your tips? How do you teach your children about going green?

Comments & Reviews
I’ve been wanting to purchase this kit for my little ones for quite some time now. After seeing your vivid pictures, reading your review, and seeing the look on your little man’s face, I am certain to get it for them now! Hope your garden grows! And I’m gigglin’ of course!
I was thinking the same thing about the sunflowers. My other dilemma is where to put them where they will be in the sun! LOL. Like you I’m a bookworm and I think that was my kids favorite part!
Kristy,
Your little guy is just the cutest! I bet he did love that cute book and sticker! You can’t ever start too young teaching these kiddos…they just absorb everything you expose them to.
Have a great weekend!

Fantastic pics!
My kids have actually taught ME about going green! Each summer, they’ve attending a day camp at our local nature center; the program is phenomenal, green and educational. Each week, there is a different theme, but certain threads are predominant throughout the program – conservation, stewardship and eco conservation!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful site 🙂
