Winters can be long and I like to have something growing indoors for my buddies to observe. While cutting up carrots for snack, I saw that the tops had the tiniest little bits of green sprouting from them. I have a glass block that still had soil sitting in it so I popped the carrot tops into it.
This project is really nice for younger kids because it provides very quick results. Our tops were growing nicely just a couple of days after "planting". From what I understand, they will never grow carrots, only the tops will grow.
I shared this at the
NurtureStore and you can too!
It's interesting that the whole carrot wont grow. And I do agree with you there that it's perfect for little ones who need quick results. Thank you for giving me a great idea.
ReplyDeletei'm so glad you said in the post that they won't actually grow carrots - i was going to ask and i would have looked like an idiot - doh!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking this up to our Virtual Book Club inspired by The Carrot Seed! We are waiting for ours to grow, too! Such a fun experiment!
