Okay so me and my son are going to try something a little different and fun for our fall crafting. He is an avid reader, loves to help me in our garden, and of course very creative. So the other day I got a couple baskets of flowers and I said to myself "Okay I have to find a way for people who have less than a green thumb be able to keep these alive." Then I found the solution: TERRARIUMS!!!!
I have been searching and having a blast envisioning the creations my son and I will create. We are just so excited. I have already decided to do a "jungle" one for his room and something a bit more girly and whimsical for myself.
Of course I love to connect anything my son and I do into his books. SO that as his interests grow so does his library. When he loved owls we bought owl related books and birding books, trains same thing, when he began to bake I got a little more creative and got the IF You Give...series.
So how do you connect miniature gardens in a glass bowl to reading? For a girl it's simple just build a fairy garden based terrarium and read fairytales. For a boy it's a bit more difficult. SO now I am on the search for the perfect book that will tie in with a terrarium. I am thinking maybe The Giving Tree or Johnny Appleseed or maybe get a tiger and read a jungle themed book? Any suggestions? He is three so something like a picture book.
