Learning Resources - Hide & Seek Vegetable Garden
Grow Big Skills in Your Very Own Sustainable Garden!
The Hide & Seek Vegetable Garden is a "garden-fresh" way to introduce toddlers to the world of numbers and colors. Children will love lifting the leafy tops of the five numbered pots to discover what's growing inside. Will it be a carrot, a beet, a radish, a clove of garlic, or the "Funny Bunny" hiding in wait? This surprise-and-delight element makes every round of play an engaging lesson in object permanence and memory.
Beyond the fun of hide-and-seek, this set is a powerhouse for fine motor development. The vegetables are designed with a soft, squishy texture that is perfect for small hands to grasp and "replant." As children progress, you can use the numbered pots to practice counting from 1 to 5 or match the vibrant colors of the vegetables to their corresponding pots. It is a thoughtful, mess-free resource for parents and educators looking to combine tactile play with early STEM concepts.
