My vegetable garden maths craft

We have been learning about the garden and growing our own vegetables this week. To continue this into maths and art, we created our own maths vegetable gardens with matching number sentences. My kiddies loved it and I loved seeing their excitement to make their own vegetable items. This was relatively straight forward to make but I will document the instructions below so you can recreate your own one with your class!

You will need:

• coloured paper for the vegetables
• black or brown paper for the garden
• number sentence slip
• glue and scissors

1. Take your A3 black paper and fold it in half. Fold it again to about 3/4 width, and then again doing the same thing. It will create two little rows that can be used as the vegetable rows to place the vegetables. I then staple each side in two places to hold the garden base together. 

2. Use the coloured paper to create your vegetables. These could be children's favourite ones, a mixture of vegetables grown under and on top of the ground and more. My students drew their vegetables first to help with cutting and then glued the top tufts of greenery on. 

3. Complete the matching number sentence if your maths is addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. Students fill in their numbers or can make their own number sentences to match. 

4. Put it together on a backing piece of paper! Hang it somewhere for students to see. 

There we go! Super cute but fun and linking into the learning you might be doing about the garden and vegetables. Download my freebie vegetable garden number sentence slips below to use to guide this activity!
