A great way to take advantage of the nice weather, and stimulate the senses, is to spend time out gardening. It is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with your child and share the experience of growing plants. Gardening offers a variety of ways to experience the world through all five senses.

Beyond stimulating our senses, gardening is a good outdoor activity for building up strength in our hands. By being creative, we can use a variety of muscles while attending to some of the basic elements of gardening, like watering and weeding.
