Earlier this week we decided to add yet another growing thing to the list of things we are currently growing. We had done this project a couple of years ago (click here and here to see our first experiences with this project, as well as pictures of the girls from when they were much smaller) and I thought it would be great to do it again now that the girls are older. Getting to see the miracle that usually occurs beneath the soil is going to be totally mind blowing for them. They have spent their entire lives digging in the dirt, planting things in soil, and taking care of plants and animals, but to actually get to see the roots appear and the beans move as the roots grow is going to be something that just boggles their minds! I can't wait to see them see this miracle occur. And I cannot wait to share their reactions with you.
So much fun!! Thanks for sharing this, we sprout beans to eat, but have never done a project like this, can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun! You just have to remember to keep the paper towel moist. We put the staples in so that the beans had a little area to rest on and so you can see them really move when they start growing though you can leave the staples out and just have them sit on the bottom of the ziploc bag too. Enjoy! It really is pretty cool to watch this happen!
