We’ve just planted our summer garden and needed a few markers to label our vegetables. So we made these fun and easy foam garden markers that will make it through any rainy days and help us remember what we planted. And they also add a touch of whimsy.
Supplies for Garden Markers:
- craft foam sheets
- craft popsicle sticks
- hot glue (for an adult)
- scissors (kid friendly)
- permanent markers
On the craft foam sheets, have your child draw the shape of the vegetable, try to use the same color of foam as the real veggie. Then have them cut it out around the drawn veggie, or you can cut it out for them. Also write the name of the veggie onto the front of the cut out shape. It’s good to write the words, giving them more exposure to reading.
For the adult, hot glue the foam veggie onto a craft popsicle stick and let them dry. Now they’re ready for the garden.
We also made some garden markers for my herb garden. But we used white foam squares and drew the picture onto that instead of in a shape.
These are going to help us remember what we’ve got growing in our garden, we’re just awaiting the spoils.
