Creative signs for educational garden

Posted by terri_ks z5 KS (My Page) on

I am doing a display of farm crops at a local childrens farmstead that is at a city park. Does anyone have any creative ways they have displayed educational signs. They will be 8 1/2 by 11. I will be doing cotton, wheat, barley, corn, strawberries amoung others. For example someone suggested using a Wheaties box for wheat etc. These will be geared toward children. Thanks for your ideas.

RE: Creative signs for educational garden

If you put them in a shadow box frame, you could use some dried corn, wheat, barley and cotton to spell out that name in larger letters. You could just stick them to the computer print out with the educational words but make the names larger and using the dried versions. I can picture that working. Then, put a box with a pop top--cool whip tub, craft box from the dollar store something like that with some of the dried product so the kids cam feel it and smell it. For the strawberries you might be able to find some strawberry scent.

Sounds like a fun project!
