"Hi, I'm Pam on behalf of Expert Village and today I'm going to show you different art projects for kids. Here's a way that you can get crafty in a hobby that you like and involve your children. If you like to plant things, say you have a garden or you like to plant flowers, instead of using the seed toppers that come with the garden, to you know, tell you what's where, you can have your kids make little toppers that go into the ground for you. Like say you have watermelon, have them cut a little red triangle there, and you put a green rind on it and obviously you know, you're letting the child decorate it any way that they want and they're cutting it out. You glue it together, add your seed, and you can do this with any type of vegetable, any type of flower that you have, anything at all just as long as you're getting your kids doing something with you. And then you glue it onto a popsicle stick and you can stick it right in the ground. Now say you have a tomato patch, you cut out your round circle for your tomato, you can do corn, daisies, we have our tomato, make a little green sprout for it, and again, attach it to your popsicle stick."
