You will need:
• Plant pot
• Soil
• Selection of bits and bobs to add to your garden!
Instructions:
1. Fill your flowerpot to around
two thirds full, pressing down
firmly to compress the soil.
2. The fun part… Add your bits
and bobs! There’re no real
instructions for this part,
whether you are making a
fairy garden (Don’t forget your
toadstools and fairy door!) or
Dinosaur Jungle (keep your
t-rex away from the water
hole) have as much fun and
creativity as possible.
Our suggestions:
• Plant real life herbs or
flowers in the DIY gardens,
encouraging children to
water and nurture these to
see them grow.
• Make it a game! Use our
Scavenger Hunt list to find a
variety of bits and bobs on
your hourly walks to add to
the gardens; from stones,
twigs, moss, leaves or even
the odd ladybird or two!
• Get crafty…why not make a
small tepee out of old ice lolly
sticks and see what creepy
crawlies make it their home!
Or if your garden is more of
a swamp, a Keep Out sign
on a piece of card wrapped
around a cocktail stick!
