Herbs for Kids

Description

Children posses a natural curiosity and inquisitiveness that helps them to engage with the natural world in a magical and wonderous way. The world of nature is a place full of new discoveries, adventures and unknowns, the perfect place for a child’s mind to run wild. Herbs for Kids is a herbal curriculum designed and geared towards children, helping to teach them about the world of herbalism in an interesting and enjoyable way.

Perfect for homeschoolers, educators or those who simply want their kids to learn about plant based medicine, Herbs for Kids is for a comprehensive yet flexible and accessible curriculum designed for kids of all ages (including kids at heart). The curriculum contains 9 main lessons (with some broken up into sub-lessons), a variety of handouts for the kids to reinforce what they have learned, an entire lapbook curriculum (which is great for younger kiddos), hands on activities AND a set of 40 herbal flashcards (shown in the photo). Over 75 pages of awesome herbal learning!

Ideal Grade Levels:

While younger children can be observers in a homeschool or multi-grade classroom setting, the material is best introduced from grade one onwards (depending on the learning capabilities of the child).
