On my Book Shelf
The Great Garden Escape has a rhyming text which is perfect for children 2 to 7 years old. It familiarizes children with a variety of vegetables and introduces riddles throughout the story. The illustrations are colorful making it attractive to young children. I highly recommend The Great Garden Escape.
Craft Time; DIY Caning Lid Vegetable marker :
- canning lids

- Floral metal picks or wooden craft sticks
Print out in color vegetables clip art on heavy paper. Trace lid around clip art and cut out. Glue on lid and coat with Outdoor pod podge. After drying attached too pick or wooden craft sticks.
Canning season is over for a bit, which means that you can upcycle those old canning jar lids and turn them into gorgeous hand painted garden markers. This is a great idea for those of you who do your own canning and have a few used lids that you need to upcycle. You can’t use lids more than once for canning, so this is a great project to make them useful once again.
