Have you tried building a snacking garden before? Here’s a tip on how to create one with your kids. Snacking gardens are a fun, family or school activity that young ones will learn from and appreciate. First, you need to select a sunny spot, preferably with well-drained soil. Include your children in the planning process to make a child-friendly layout so they can easily navigate the area. Select the seeds of veggies they like to eat such as, carrots, celery, cucumber, snap peas, melons, peppers, radishes, and tomatoes. Encourage your kids to participate in the process from the beginning to the end including regular watering, weeding, and tending to their plants. Avoid using pesticides and chemicals so the children can consume the fruits of their labor straight from the garden. Once the crops are ready for harvest, encourage them to select their favorite veggies to snack on while they are harvesting for family and friends. This project will help make your children feel a sense of accomplishment from learning how to grow their own food and help them develop a healthy respect for nature and our Earth.
Now, it’s time to laugh yourself silly with the following joke. It’s entitled “Who’s Afflicted.”
On a bus, a woman sitting across from a man complained to him:
“Sir, please keep your dog companion beside you. I can feel a flea on my shoe.”
The man then quickly yelled to his dog friend:
“Bello, come here quickly, that woman has fleas!”
