When I was growing up I can remember my Dad spontaneously bringing home seed starter kits. It meant that summer was on it's way. Green grass, tractors in the field, sunshine!
We picked up a kit, some starter soil, and several seed packets including dill, basil and our favorite little tomatoes.
The Bug had a great time scanning the QR codes on the back of all the packets.
The kiddos had a ball filling each little cell with soil. They then took turns choosing which seeds to plant. We had a great time comparing the different shapes and shades of seeds.
After the seeds were planted the kiddos gave them a drink of water. Now it's their turn to grow!
The kit even comes with a lid that you just pop on. Instant mini greenhouse!
Update: We found a sunny spot on my sewing table for our little greenhouse, and after about 7 days our seeds have sprouted. Now if I can successfully transfer them to the garden in a couple of weeks it might be a miracle!
