Frugal garden markers

A fun family idea is planting a garden together! Small spaces work just fine, even a balcony can have it’s own small garden. A great way to get the kids involved in learning about the food they eat, is by encouraging them to tend to a garden and harvest it’s bounty. A good motivator for kids is making it personal for them. By utilizing old venetian blinds, kids can create their own garden markers. Cut the blind about a foot long and cut a point on one end.
Kids can then paint, magic marker, or paste photos onto them to indicate what kind of produce was planted. A wonderful way to teach kids about the foods they eat and responsibility!

Have fun creating your garden markers together!
