Here Comes the Rain Again

We had a great time this past First Friday in the Kids Zone!

We spent the evening making, decorating and shaking our very own rain sticks! 

Traditionally these sticks were made by the Aztecs out of pieces of fallen dried cactus and pebbles or dried beans.

When you shake the stick it makes the sound of falling rain and it is said that these sticks were used to bring about rainstorms in South America.

We made our sticks out of recycled PVC pipe, two PVC end caps and some pea gravel!

You'll thank us when the rain comes to the Desert Southwest!

Happy First Friday!

Rockin' Garden Art

Star Nursery's Kids Garden Club was out at First Friday last week and we had a blast painting lucky river rocks.

It seems like such a simple activity to paint a rock, but both the kids and their parents seemed to get more than just a pretty take-away from the night. 

There's something quite soothing about taking a brush to a smooth surfaced stone and making it your own.

We saw all sorts of things painted on rocks that night. From bugs to footballs, and peace signs to abstract colors and shapes.

Exposure to art opens up a whole world of imaginative possibilities to children and they're eager to dive in. Allowing them to create something in their own way gives them a sense of being and personal importance. 

The garden can be an outlet for children to observe art in nature and painting planters or making garden sculptures is a way for kids to express what they are feeling and seeing in the growing process and space. Adding plants or art to a garden gives a child a sense of ownership to the space. They'll want to return again and again to observe the many changes the garden undergoes.

So give it a try! Paint a rock and see where it takes you!

This Saturday, March 14th!

Come down to your neighborhood Star Nursery for Kids Garden Club this Saturday.

We'll be painting and planting with a Jack and the beanstalk theme!

Hope to see you there!
