Kids have wonderful ideas of their own about how to do things. Here is a way they can let us know what they have done. So arm yourself with a digital camera, take some photos of the kids in their garden and show off their handywork. Get them to write a short description of what they did so others can also share their ideas. Click here to see what others have done.
