This was a super easy project to do with the kids. ALL of the items came from the Dollar Tree! You can easily do this for under $10! My 5 year old son enjoyed playing with all the little animals and gnomes and picking out their toys and houses and mailboxes.

We planted Marigolds and Zinnias down the middle and hope to be able to carefully play some more when the flowers bloom! My son can’t wait for that to happen.

Dollar Tree is currently selling the little creatures and smaller accessories in sets of 3 for $1, and bigger houses and play items as well for $1. They also had small bags of potting soil, boxes of seeds, and the pots.

This has become a popular idea recently, with little specialty shops even. This is a super affordable take on this! I won’t even have to be mad if any of it does get broken. My son is also getting to learn a little about planting and growing. Win win!
