I like this idea for an Easter egg receptacle. We’re going to be away from home this Easter and staying in a B&B, so this is a good idea for somewhere for the Easter Bunny to leave eggs for the children. It’s messy and a great kids’ craft and it’s made of stuff that is free, natural or would otherwise end up in the bin.

Piper and I have been sowing seeds for winter vegetables this afternoon. It’s fun to do with children of any age when outside is stormy and wet, and inside is a much nicer prospect. Northern hemisphere folks sow summer veg for a school holiday activity.
Learning to grow vegetables is a valuable and important life skill.
10 Easy Steps
1. Find something in your recycling that will make a suitable plant pot. Suggestions: bottom half of plastic milk bottles, yoghurt pots, bottom half of egg cartons.
2. Fill the receptacles with compost. Get organic compost from your local nursery/garden centre or use sifted homemade compost.
3. Plant seeds. Suggested for winter: Swiss chard, spinach, some lettuces, some carrots, onions, peas.

4. Water.
5. Admire.
6. Put in a sunny window.

7. Water daily or when dry.
8. Wait.
9. Harvest.
10. Eat.
