Gardening & Compost — Hands-On STEM Week for Ages 3–7
What happens under the soil? Why do plants need eggshells? And can you actually build your own compost from scratch?
Turn everyday backyard curiosity into a full week of playful science discovery with Gardening & Compost, a hands-on STEM curriculum designed for curious kids ages 3–7.
Throughout the week, children explore what makes a garden grow through science investigations, process art, sensory play, and whole-body movement. They'll hunt for garden helpers, crush eggshells into plant food, layer their compost bin, and plant their own seeds, discovering that a healthy garden depends on tiny decomposers, the right nutrients, and a little patience.
From sorting garden helpers and enemies to building a working compost bin and watching seeds sprout on the windowsill, each activity turns real science into something young children can see, touch, create, and experience.
