Garden Center Field Trip

 

Since im working on a Garden theme with Brianna right now, i decided to take the kids on a ‘field trip’ to a garden center right up the street from us:

We walked all around looking at the different tools, plants and seeds. It was a great experience for them!

And they each picked out flower seeds…

that they planted as soon as we got home!

Here’s to hoping they grow! (And if they do, i’ll write an update post!)

Simple Paper Plate Sunflower

Ok so this didn't turn out quite how i envisioned it would, but its cute :)

Connor and Brianna colored the inside of the paper plate brown,

the outside yellow,

and glue some dried black beans in the center.
