Learning Snacks: Celebrate Joy in Our World! Pride Month and National Garden Week

June is a month full of color, growth, and celebration! As we step into summer, we’re excited to recognize two meaningful events: Pride Month and National Garden Week. This week, you’ll find ways to celebrate both holidays because growing a more joyful and welcoming world starts with all of us.

FOR KIDS: RAINBOW AND GARDEN ACTIVITIES
Celebrate June with all things rainbow! Make a rainbow mobile for your home or try this rainbow science experiment. Then, celebrate all the colors of the outdoors by taking a nature walk or making a nature suncatcher.

FOR PARENTS: BENEFITS OF GETTING OUTSIDE!
Celebrate joy in our world by spending time in nature! Spend this weekend planting a miniature garden that can help grow children's brains, bodies, and souls. Spending time outside as a family has so many benefits for children’s mental and physical health.

FOR EDUCATORS: LESSONS WE LEARN FROM NATURE
Teaching children about gardening is a wonderful way to connect them with nature, encourage healthy habits, and build responsibility. Through gardening, kids learn where food comes from, how plants grow, and the importance of caring for the environment. Spending time in a garden is very beneficial for children’s mental health, and teachers’ too!
