We LOVE to play outside in our garden. Really, it’s been such a learning experience for me. I’ve been known to accidentally kill quite a few plants. Sorry, plants! This year we found a pretty good rhythm and flow to keeping up with this garden and it’s been so fun to dive more in depth with this tot school garden theme for Wyatt!
I’ve rounded up 70 tot school books to help spark the curiosity about gardening for your little one (and maybe you, too!)
Are any of these your favorites already? Which ones are you excited to explore? Let me know in the comments!
We score a lot of these titles at our local library and had some on hand, too.
Also, please know this post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase I’ll receive a small kickback for recommending some stellar books for your family. Obviously, this is no extra cost to you.
