This scavenger hunt is a great outdoor activity for children to find and identify things found in a garden. The idea is that they take this worksheet out into their home or school’s garden and see how many things they can find.

Once this is over, they can write the names of the garden objects below each picture.

A simple children’s word search puzzle on the theme of gardening. There are 8 words that can be found vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. Some of the garden words are also backwards.

Printable Garden Picture Puzzle

A simple puzzle that, once assembled, reveals a wheelbarrow with flowers in a garden. Once printed, kids need to cut out the 16 pieces and then arrange them correctly. They can also be glued in position on a separate sheet of paper or card stock.

Gardening Craft Activities

The next gardening worksheets involve fun paper craft. Below, there are two pot plants to cut out and assemble, with the second PDF giving you the extra option of coloring.

It is very easy, so no key has been provided. The long rectangular shape with the curved corners is for the base of the plant pot. Although it can be used as a stem! Let children cut out and arrange the leaves and flowers in any way that they think is suitable.

Bed of flowers Paper Craft

In this gardening worksheet, kids can create a bed of flowers. For reference, the rectangular shapes are flower stems, the jagged triangular-shaped part is grass, the oval shapes are leaves, and the circles go in the center of the flower petals.

You will notice that there are several outlines on each shape. Try coloring them with different shades of your chosen colors to make the bed of flowers really pop and stand out.

Make a Garden Worksheet

The final craft activity allows kids to make a complete garden with trees, shrubs, potted plants, and a bench.

Simple cutting outlines have been provided for smaller children. Older kids who are quite handy with scissors can ignore those outlines and cut around the images as close as possible.

Gardening Coloring Pages

Last of all, we have a couple of cute gardening coloring pages. They feature girls watering potted plants. One page has an outdoor garden, and the other one has an indoor scene.
