The kids cousins have recently put in a vege garden. So we thought we would send them some seeds to plant in it. Most of the seeds we have collected from our own garden, and we also shared some seeds that we recently bought commercial packets of.
Things you will need:
Seeds (we had dwarf sunflowers, leek, perpetual spinach/swiss chard, silverbeet (bright lights), celery, chives, carrots (harlequin) and radishes (Easter egg mix).
Plain A4 paper, which we cut down to a square
Colouring pens/pencils/crayons
Instructions:
We made the seed packets according to these you tube instructions.
What the kids can do:
The kids sometimes help me collect seeds in the garden. It is a great opportunity to learn about different plants.
Miss 6 has been practicing her origami lately so could help with the seed packets. I wrote the seed names and planting times on the packets and Miss 6 did a lovely job of illustrating the plants on the other side. Mr 2 drew his own pictures on other paper while we did this.
