Crayola PlaySand Garden - Ninja needs a hobby!

In between all the fighting and hiding - a ninja's got to find some peace, right? How about a nice quite garden? We wanted Thomas to have a outside project and decided he might like his vegetables .... if he actually grew them. I know it may not be an ideal thought for a 2 year old, but he had fun helping none the less. Jeff and I tried to make it as kid fun as possible - letting him choose the flowers and the food.


We were lucky enough that our rental house has a nice patch that is stoned off to use as our garden area. Quick trip to Lowes (and Home Depot...and Wal-Mart) we got our goodies! Cute gardening set for Thomas, some Miracle-Gro Soil, assortment of plants, and to jazz things up - Crayola Colored PlaySand.

Thomas picked out some cherry tomatos, strawberries, and some flowers. Me - I wanted to get on this garden train too, and bought some frequently used herbs (oregano, rosemary, and basil).


End result was marvelous!
