Starting Seeds Indoors

[monkeys]

I have used pop bottles and placed the seeds against the inner wall of the bottle. This way the kids can see the seed begin to sprout and grow. I keep the bottles up on the counter, the kids can see them, but can't touch them.

The egg cartons work good, the kids can make faces on the cups, before planting the seeds. Use grass seed and the heads will grow hair.

Sunflowers are popular, especially if you or the kids plant them outside afterward.

The kids help plant part of my vegetable garden each year. We grow carrots, peas, beans, lettuce, spinach and sunflowers. This year we will also be trying corn.

Pinterest has some really good ideas.
