Step 1: Fill the boots (This is a great step for your preschooler to do.)
Get dirty! Let your preschooler scoop gravel and dirt into the boots. Guide them to fill 1/3 of each boot with gravel, followed by another 1/3 of potting soil.
Step 2: Plant the flowers
Gently loosen the plant from its pot and nest it into the top of the boot. Remove or add dirt, as needed, to pack the plant in, leaving about half an inch of space at the top of the boot for easy watering.
Step 3: Label your plant
Create the Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! garden tags by following the instructions provided and label your plant.
Step 4: Water and watch grow!
Place your plant in a sunny spot and water as needed, usually three to four times a week. TIP: Kids love to water plants, but sometimes too much. Help your child water the plant the first time to demonstrate how much is enough. You want the plant to be damp, not soaked.
Step 5: Bring outside
Once your local frost date is past, you can bring your plants outside and plant in the ground or a larger planter to encourage healthy growth. Mother nature will most likely take care of more of the watering now.
