Fun Garden-to-Kitchen Activities for Kids and Families

Clayton Early Learning created a fun activity guide called 'Seed to Stomach' that teaches kids and families how to grow healthy food and cook together. The guide has activities for all four seasons - winter, spring, summer, and fall. Kids learn to plant gardens, grow fresh vegetables, and make healthy meals from scratch. The activities help children understand where food comes from and why eating fresh, homegrown food helps their bodies grow strong. Parents and teachers can use these hands-on activities both at home and in the classroom. The guide is available in both English and Spanish, making it accessible to more families. The program connects gardening with cooking and nutrition education, showing kids that healthy eating can be fun and rewarding. Each season has different activities that match what grows best during that time of year. This helps families eat seasonally and learn about the natural growing cycles of different foods.
