Gardening Activities for Early Years

Gardening provides children with practical opportunities to explore how plants grow and change. Children can help prepare soil, plant seeds, water plants and observe their progress over time.

Gardening activities can also encourage children to explore seasonal changes, develop an interest in nature and take responsibility for caring for living things.

Wildlife Activities for Children

Encourage children to observe and learn about wildlife in their outdoor environment. Simple activities such as looking for insects, observing birds and exploring different plants can help children develop an interest in the natural world.

Combine wildlife resources with gardening and outdoor learning activities to create opportunities for children to investigate nature throughout the year.
