Product Description

Drawing from her teaching experience, Karen Fausch has designed 12 irresistible and sure-to-succeed window box gardens for children to plant and cultivate. Each has a theme and related activity. For example, the Jack-Be-Little Box has mini pumpkins and instructions for carving initials that grow as the jack-o'-lantern does. By following the simple instructions, children will learn gardening skills they can use for a lifetime, including how to mix potting soil, fertilize, water, control light and temperature, and identify insects.

There's a lot of projects here, covering a broad range of activites -- everything from planting a pizza box (growing ingredients to put on a homemade pizza) to a Halloween spook box. My daughter has really enjoyed the projects we've worked on. The illustrations are charming.
