Grow Carrots for Kids
It's fun for kids to grow carrots -- and even more fun to eat them!What You'll Need:
- Carrots
- Knife
- Flat dishes or deep saucers
- Gravel
- Water
- Potting soil
How to Grow Carrots:
Step 1: Start with carrots that have leafy tops. Cut off the tops, leaving about two inches of greens.
Step 2: Cut off the top inch of the carrot, and plant it in potting soil or fine pebbles in a dish. Leave the greens above the surface. Keep the soil barely moist.
Step 3: If using pebbles, add fresh water every other day. When the carrots begin to sprout new leaves, plant in soil in a flower pot.
When you think of building materials, beans may not be the first things that come to mind -- until you read the nature garden activity for kids on the next page of nature garden activities for kids.
