This springtime family craft is inspired by one of our most popular rhymes, “The Planting Song”. Watch and sing along to the video, and then discuss the materials you’re recreating in the craft. Hone those fine motor skills, handwriting and color recognition when creating and labeling the fruits and vegetables. And if you also want to top off your finished garden with a Mother Goose Club plush doll, you can browse our full collection here!
