Have your child place one egg shell into each of the 12 carton compartments. |
|
Next, have your child sprinkle a small amount of gravel in the bottom of each shell. |
|
Now fill each shell about ¾ full with potting soil and sprinkle on a little water. |
|
Now have your child make a small finger hole in each shell and place a seed in each hole. |
|
Cover the holes and sprinkle on some more water. |
|
Place the egg carton in a sunny place. |
|
Water when the soil feels or looks dry. |
|
Marigold seeds are usually easy for children to grow. |
