A Mini Vegetable Garden in Eggshells for Children.

It's spring ... And it's time to make your small plantings.

Are you wondering how you are going to occupy the children?

Do not move ! I have a great idea for you ;-)

Here's a smart way to keep kids busy with eggs and gardening, even indoors!

Just build a mini vegetable garden out of eggshells. It will delight the little ones! Look :

What you need

- 6 egg shells empty

- 1 empty egg box

- 1 small spoon

- of the earth

- seeds of parsley, chives, mint, basil or other aromatic plants

1. When breaking your eggs to make an omelet or soft-boiled eggs, keep the shells high enough so that they form small, high-enough containers.

2. Wash them and put them back in the box.

3. Fill the shells with soil or potting soil, using a teaspoon.

4. Sow different seeds in each shell: you can write the name in felt-tip pen on the shells to remember what you put in them!

5. Water a little (every other day) and place your mini-garden in the light ... and wait for it to grow!

And there you have it, you have made a small vegetable garden in eggshells :-)

It's an easy DIY that I tested with my kindergarten students : the children watched them with enthusiasm.

They were very proud to bring them home (for Mother's Day for example) before harvesting herbs to put in all their dishes.

Chives and mint grow particularly well.

And this activity is perfect if the weather is not good for playing outside.
