Indoor gardening

This evening we worked on a couple projects that contain some of my children's favorite activities: scooping, playing with dirt, and watering things.

Today we made clay pot faces and planted grass at the top for hair. They get to water them everyday and when the grass gets too long they can cut the hair.

The next project was to repot some plants that I started. Allison and Matthew got to scoop dirt into the pots; one spoonful at a time. They did a fantastic job! Very little on the floor. Though Miss I-Need-A-Paper-Towel-Every-Time-My-Hands-Get-Dirty had a moment of despair that quickly dissipated because playing in the dirt was definitely more fun.
