Gardening: A Great Way to Get Your Kids to Eat More Veggies
Kids are more likely to eat the things that they grow. If you have a picky eater, letting them grow their own plants might be just the trick to get them interested in trying new foods. It teaches them how things grow. Did they realize that carrots and potatoes grew underground? Did they know that beans can climb high?
