Children need a way to explore the natural world around them, and gardening does just that! Gardening with children provides the perfect combination of skills and tasks to address your child’s development. Young children can practice locomotor skills, body management skills, and object control skills while they move from one place to the other carrying tools, soil, and water. They will be moving their bodies using large muscles and using muscles to balance and manage objects too. Fine motor skills such as whole hand grasping, and the pincer grasp (necessary skills for writing) are employed in gardening when children use a trowel or rake and pick up tiny seeds to plant. Further, being outdoors in the fresh air and moving around a lot is a good way to get exercise. Through this project, we will also be focusing on our culture. We will be planting and focusing on Hawaiian plants such as olena, kalo, noni and so much more! These plants when harvested can be used for body cleaning, medicinal uses, paint, food, etc. Giving my children the opportunity to learn about their culture in the ways that their ancestors did, allows them to gain a sense of identity. My students will be able to see the whole cycle from garden to table.
