As part of our son's Marvellous Me week, I had the chance to visit his class and share something close to my heart: the origins of food crops, biodiversity, and the importance of crop and species diversity across ecosystems. I brought along a variety of apples, onions, and potatoes for the children to explore, with the help of my younger son. The kids were fascinated and even got to draw the fruits and vegetables we discussed. It was a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of preserving biodiversity—something that will affect us all now and in the future. By having the children draw different types of crops, they engaged in a fun, hands-on way to learn about crop diversity and the richness of our ecosystems. It’s such a simple yet powerful way to teach these essential concepts!. An easy way to teach kids about crop diversity is to ask them draw it!
What started as a blog post on ”How to make a moving robot”, is now a platform, where I post my family's DIY projects and our children's arts and crafts. My aim to give tips to parents on how they can help their children to become creative and inquisitive with a ”can do” mindsets.
