Kids on the Grow! That's the name of the 4-H child development project and you'll see why. It's kids taking care of kids. Kids taking care of themselves. What can we do to help them handle emergencies, develop home-alone skills, stay healthy, and relate appropriately to others? All these issues are addressed in the exciting new child development curriculum, Kids on the Grow.
CHILD DEVELOPMENT, Level 1 - 1010
In this project, you'll make lots of things, like bags, hats and masks. You'll make friends with a potato! You'll see how you can make your home safe for you and your family. And lots of other things. You'll do fun activities in all four areas of 4-H: head, heart, hands, and health. For example, you'll make a "Bloomin Bag," you'll make a special learning place for yourself, you'll create your own clock, and become a toy inspector. To complete this level of the project each year, you should do at least 7 of the activities. To complete the Achievement Program for this level of the project, you should complete all 8 of the required and 5 of the optional activities in three years of less.
