This document introduces a toolkit for educators to involve 5-8 year old students in exercises that spread awareness of food deserts, environmental impact, and personal health through gardening and recycling activities. The toolkit provides 9 carefully curated exercises that teach students about upcycling, drip irrigation systems, naming and taking ownership of a garden, planting, plant identification, composting, and preparing fresh foods. Each exercise addresses an issue, proposes a solution, and outlines a hands-on activity for students. Additional resources are included to help educators explain the benefits of the approaches.
