Getting kids to
enjoy eating vegetables is an age-old struggle. But what if they grew the veggies they would eventually eat on their very own windowsill? Better yet, what if the veggies came to life for your little one online? — Gardening meets kiddie social media with
Growums, mini gardening kits sporting cute veggie characters and tasty themes, paired with a fun website. Kids can choose from six garden themes, like taco, pizza or stir fry (delish), and then grow the vegetables and herbs that go into making the
meals. Online, they can sign up to track their garden’s progress, play games,
and meet characters with names like Regan O., a fashionable oregano plant, and
Elvis Parsley. Children will learn where food comes from (try doing that with a candy bar!) and then enjoy the satisfaction of growing their own produce. It’s a win-win. And if you’re lucky, maybe next time they’ll ask for extra basil on their pizza or another helping of fresh
tomatoes.
