Peter Rabbit's Garden | Magic Gardens

Hop to Fun

Celebrate planting and harvesting is what this Magic Garden is all about. Peter Rabbit’s garden features vegetables freshly picked in a wagon and more in the ground. Kids can plant anything they want, so don’t forget to include all your favorite foods. You can make the items out of clay so they can be left outside, or you can purchase mini food online or from a craft store. Let the kids have fun – maybe they want to plant potatoes for French fries. Or maybe hamburgers grow in your garden. Everything is fun, whether real or imaginary.
