Herbalism for Kids (K-6 Unit Study)

Turn your backyard into a classroom with a hands-on introduction to the plants that have healed and nourished people for centuries. This downloadable unit study invites K-6 learners to identify, sketch, harvest, and use common herbs through age-layered lessons that work for a single child or a whole family at once. Every activity is built around real plants your kids can actually find — dandelion, plantain, chamomile, mint — so learning happens in the garden as much as at the table. Print it once and use it for years, adjusting the depth as your children grow. No herbal background required: everything you need to feel confident teaching it is included.
