We needed tags for our garden, so I figured out a way for Miss Emma to help...
I made my own tags on the computer, and let her do all of the coloring...
She had a lot of fun coloring all of the fruits and veggies. I found the black and white clip art online from goodness knows where and cranked out about 25 of these suckers. Then, I cut them out and had them laminated for about three bucks.
While we colored, Buddy ate his staples: turkey, cheese, and dried cranberries or raisins.
Sometimes he's sad...
Sometimes he's silly...
And, sometimes he's happy. But he always has pretty blue eyes and will always share his kisses.
My first attempt at getting our little tags in the ground was super unsuccessful. I tried popsicle sticks glued to the backs of the tags. Our wind blew them away. Then I tried popsicle sticks stapled to the tags. The stapler split the popsicle stick. So, I ended up taping (with packaging tape) a horseshoe-shaped piece of wire to the back of each tag...which has worked! Our garden ended up looking like this...
I hope something ends up growing here...
If you would like to make the garden tags, but want minimal effort, email me and I will send you the Microsoft Word attachment. You can change the names of the veggies if you need to. I know I have Strawberry, Cantaloupe, Broccoli, Jalapeno, Serrano, Sweet Red Pepper, Sweet Yellow Pepper, Squash, Zucchini, several types of Lettuce, Tomato, and Cucumber. I have tags for my herbs too, but those don't have photos to color :)Happy Gardening!
