Eli received some lovely planting sets from my brother and sister-in-law for his birthday last year. We put them away so we could do some planting in the spring and promptly forgot about them. (Sorry Aunty Kelly!)
Lately he’s obsessed with the Big and Small game on the cbeebies website where (amongst other things) he plants seeds and waters them until they grow. So I hunted down the things he already had and bought some compost and extra little pots and we did some planting.
When we’d finished making a terrible mess inside I put the remainder of the compost and the tools in the tuff spot
and he made a terrible mess outside!
Look at those hands!!
Here is one of the sets we had, there was also a smaller bucket with pumpkin seeds in. The tools are lovely and will be great for using at the beach.
We’ve kept the little pots safe so the seeds have a chance of growing and planted some beans in cotton wool. Hopefully something will grow before he gets bored of looking at them.
As you always loved having dirty hands maybe he will be as creative as you are .Whoops are scientist creative??
I think so, in a creative problem solving kind of a way! x
