Getting the children involved in gardening is a good way to
occupy them while you are busy gardening yourself. This will also
inculcate the interest in gardening for them and will keep them usefully
occupied. However, it may not be safe for them to use the main
gardening equipment so you could get them some toys or children's
gardening tools to use instead.
Let the children do a part of the garden - In case you have decided on getting the kids some gardening tools, then you could also give them a part of the garden to cultivate and learn about plants and have some fun at the same time too. This way you can watch over the kids while you are at your gardening too, and teach them a new hobby and something constructive. They will also learn how to enjoy the plants and to take care of them. Apart from this you could let them have a patch for a vegetable garden so that the kids will learn practically about the vegetables, the different stages of their growth and the names of the parts of the fruits, vegetables and flowers.
By tools to suit your child's age - You should buy gardening tools that will suit your child's age and something that can be handled easily by him. So maybe you could take your kid with you to check out and see what would be most comfortable for him. In case you are worried about metal tools hurting your child you could buy tools in some other material for your child. Apart from gardening alongside you this could also be a time for general knowledge improvement where you could teach your kid a bit about the plants and the insects that visit the flowers.
Make gardening time fun time for the kids - While teaching your kids about the plants and the different insects like butterflies that hover around the flowers, you could use some innovative methods to get them involved in gardening and learning about nature too.
Make the gardening interesting for your kid by taking pictures of their garden at regular intervals or even every day so that they can see for themselves the way their garden has developed and how long it has taken for the first flower to bloom. This would be a wonderful way for the kids to spend their summer months by being out in the garden.
