Last year the boys school had a big push on entrepreneurial skills & every class came up with a business plan & then made & sold their products to raise money for school. Jordan's class baked & decorated fairy cakes. Timmy & Luke's class decorated terracotta plant pots & sold them as a grow your own herbs kit complete with seeds in a homemade packet, soil & lolly stick marker.
We faithfully planted both lots of basil seeds & waited for them to grow. Sadly Tim's seedlings died after a few weeks but Luke's are going from strength to strength! Timmy's beautifully decorated pot is now home to a geranium which is also flourishing wonderfully!
Annie-Joy planted a bulb when she went to toddler group with Nanny. It's growing taller & taller & taller! The sunflowers that the boys planted in Boys Brigade are also growing strong (thanks to a little bit of mummy licence; Tim's original seed never sprouted & he was so disappointed so I planted a new seed secretly. Shhhh!). It is so nice to have the kitchen window sill full of plants that the children have helped to grow. It makes me smile to see green things as I go about my daily tasks. It also makes me smile to see the children's delight as their seedlings grow.
