Hello Gardeners!
With all of the uncertainty in the world right now, you may have unknowingly found yourself watering your 'weeds and not your flowers'. Today on the blog, we are here to support you during these uncertain moments. We've got tips to help you self-regulate, suggestions for what to do with the kids home from school and some tips to help the whole family relax!

Start each morning with a sun salutation. Not only does yoga help create awareness of the body and mindfulness of the breath, but it also helps get the blood flowing!

Create a sensory room. Sensory activities are becoming quite popular in classrooms and for kids with special needs, but they are fun for everyone in the whole family!
- Mix sand and shaving cream to make a quick moon sand
- Make homemade slime with one of these recipes
- Boil spaghetti in colored water to create multi-colored fun
- Tie ribbons onto a hair tie to create sensory ribbon bracelets - perfect for a dance party!

Take this time to get your outdoor space cleaned up and ready for warmer weather! Start with this cute and easy #BirdFeeder made from reusable materials!
Here's what you'll need:
Plastic container (we used an old frosting container!)
Paint
Super glue or hot glue
String
Birdseed
An adult with a box cutter (safety first please!)
First, cut the lid of your plastic container in half and then cut a semi circle out of the base of the container. Glue the lid onto your container so that it lines up with the cutout on the base.
Decorate your container with a pattern or your favorite spring flowers! With your box cutter, poke two holes on the side of your container for a string.
Fill the with birdseed and find the perfect place to hang!
