My First Organics seed starting kits are a simple way for kids to learn how to grow fresh, organic produce in the ground or containers. Studies have shown that when kids have a hand in growing food, their understanding of it and its relationship to their health increases.

Recycle, reuse, biodegrade – everything in the kit is Earth-safe! Each includes certified organic seeds and soil, 8 organic biodegradable pots, certified organic plant food and easy, illustrated instructions. Watch seedlings sprout on your windowsill inside a reusable, recyclable, lead-free, food-grade plastic mini-greenhouse, proudly made in the USA.

These organic kits are a fun, educational and eco-friendly activity and make a unique gift. All contents can be stored for up to 1 year from the date of purchase.

“How a Garden Saves the Earth” is a perfect accompaniment to the company’s My First Organics seed starting kits. It is a beautiful children’s book about kids growing their own fruits and vegetables and teaches them why it’s so good for them and the Earth. Great for children up to third grade, it is dedicated to helping parents, teachers and homeschoolers educate kids about the importance of locally grown, sustainable food and how it is connected to their health and that of the planet.

Consider upgrading to the Homeschool Bundle, as the book is included along with fun lesson plans, too.

Butter lettuce is a great way to introduce kids to salads because it has a slightly sweet, buttery flavor.
