Painted Rocks
Painted rocks are a simple yet charming way to add color to your garden.
- Materials Needed: Smooth rocks, acrylic paint, brushes, and sealant.
- Instructions: Clean the rocks and let them dry. Paint them with fun designs, such as ladybugs, flowers, or inspirational words. Once the paint is dry, apply a sealant to protect them from the elements.

Creating a fairy garden can spark imagination and creativity in kids.
- Materials Needed: Small plants, miniature fairy garden accessories (tiny houses, fairy figures, etc.), and a container or a designated garden spot.

Bird Feeders
Making bird feeders is a great way to attract birds and teach kids about wildlife.
- Materials Needed: Pinecones, peanut butter, birdseed, and string.
- Instructions: Spread peanut butter on the pinecones, then roll them in birdseed. Tie a string to the top and hang them from tree branches.
Garden Stepping Stones
Personalize your garden with handmade stepping stones.
- Materials Needed: Cement mix, water, a mold (old cake pan or pie dish), and decorations (pebbles, glass beads, or shells).
- Instructions: Mix the cement according to the package instructions and pour it into the mold. Decorate the surface with pebbles, beads, or shells. Let it dry completely before placing it in the garden.
