Materials: cardboard egg carton, seeds (let your child choose a variety), soil, water, markers, craft sticks 

Cut the top off of an egg carton and set it aside. Use markers to decorate the carton. Poke holes in each “dome” to allow water to drain. Place the top underneath like a tray. Fill each dome with soil. Plant 1-3 seeds in each dome (about 1/2 inch deep). Use markers and craft sticks to label what you have planted in each dome. Lightly water and place on a sunny windowsill. Water your garden and record observations daily. After the seeds have sprouted, move sprouts to a larger pot or outside garden. Water them regularly and watch them grow!
