Other benefits include:

Being outside is proven to help people of all ages mentally, emotionally and physically. Some benefits include better sleep, calmer moods and, especially when making direct physical contact with the earth, as well as an improved immune system. Gardening in particular has been shown to reduce stress, foster a sense of accomplishment and improve self-esteem. Children who garden generally become more interested in eating fruits and vegetables, gain greater knowledge about plant ecology and grasp the concept of self-sustainability.

This Li’l Green Sprouts program adds to this the discovery of Canada’s remarkable wildlife and our connection to it. It also encourages sensory exploration in a mix of physical activity and quiet moments while nurturing observation, coordination and language skills. Moreover, the activities explore cause and effect, inspire creativity and provide an opportunity to care for another living thing. Of course, one of the most important benefits of using this kit is having fun while fostering a lifelong love of nature.

Kit Testimonials

This is an excellent kit. Your activities are well thought out and I would recommend this kit for use with children for sure. The little tool kit was very cute. I was an early childhood educator for 21 years and I would definitely recommend this.
