Watering Plants is an easy and fun activity for small kids. They’ll be doing a chore and won’t even know it:)
Why Should Kids Help Water Plants
Watering plants is such an easy chore for toddlers and kids. Spring and summer time when you bring out all the plants you will have a little helper on and. It helps them to:
- develop their hand and muscle strength
- learn to pour within the limits (might get it all over but at least, worth the try)
- watering plants teaches skills too – the kids learn the importance of preserving plants by watering them
- they learn that watering plants helps them get their nutrients they need to grow.
- watering plants keeps them from drying out
What’s The Perfect Way To Get Your Kids to Water Plant
If the kids help you plant some seeds, they will be even more excited to water them so they could grow.
- Choose plants and some seeds of their interest (this could be flowers, veggies, fruits, etc)
- Allow them to help plant the seeds
- Give them the right tools: AKA Rainboots and watering can! These are so fun for the little ones. When our kids were little, those rainboots and watering can combinations as they watered plants were so cute to watch!
- Make sure they are watering the plants the right time of day (weather and also, when they are not tired).
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness (Proverbs 31:217).
