week 4 Planting seeds with your kids is a very rewarding project for everyone. Getting to see the seeds that they planted sprout into plants is fun and educational. Plus, if you plant something like pumpkin seeds, they may even get the chance to enjoy the "fruits of their labor" at Halloween by turning one of their own pumpkins into a Jack-o-Lantern.

Supplies:

seeds
mini greenhouse
soil
small pots

Steps:

Fill each opening of your greenhouse with soil.

Have your child the push the seeds into the soil. Then cover them up with soil.

Put the lid onto the greenhouse and label the greenhouse with what kind of seeds you used.

Water them and set the greenhouse in the sun. NOTE: These are our seedlings after 1 week.

Have your child help you water the seedlings and observe the changes that the seedlings are going through.

When the seedlings begin to outgrow the greenhouse it is time to move them into something bigger. NOTE: These are our seedlings after 4 weeks.
Gently pop the seedlings out of the greenhouse pots. Transplant them into small pots, making sure to label the pots with what is in them.

Continue caring for the seedlings in these pots until they are a bit bigger. Then transplant them into your garden. Have fun!
