Grow it, Cook it
It's fun, it's educational, and it's only a few steps away from your back door - so what could be better than gardening with your child? Get your little one donning their welly boots and gardening gloves and dig deep this Spring!
Teaching your child about the growing cycles of vegetables, the creatures that inhabit their backyard, as well as the importance of soil, nutrition and sunshine, will help their understanding of the natural world.
That is why we've teamed up with Grow it Cook it with Kids, by Amanda Grant, who offers top tips on how to get your children growing and looking after plants. Whether it's sowing a seed, planting vegetables and herbs, or learning how to prepare and cook the produce they've grown, this fabulous book has it covered.
Here, Amanda shares how to plant and grow herbs, peas and beans and strawberries... and don't forget to check out our pick of the funkiest garden kit for toddlers.
