Dig, Plant, Grow: Fun Garden Activities to Celebrate Earth Day with Your Child
With Earth Day just around the corner on 22 April, it’s the perfect time to step outside with your child, enjoy some fresh air, and start growing something together — even if it’s just in a pot by the window.
At Aussie Kindies, we believe that the best kind of learning happens through play, hands-on experiences, and time spent in nature. While not every one of our centres has a veggie garden or worm farm, many do — and they offer children wonderful opportunities to learn about caring for plants, saving water, and reducing waste.
We also support environmental learning through our Aussie Wildlife Champions program, designed for preschool-aged children (3–5 years) in our School Readiness program. Through this exciting initiative, children learn about Australia’s amazing animals and what we can do to protect their habitats — helping to build environmental awareness from a young age.
And the best part? You can easily bring some of that learning home with a few pots, some seeds, and a little curiosity.
