Hi, amy,
I am writing a story for Parents mag on instilling perseverance. I’m looking for inspiring and/or surprising real mom advice. I liked your entry re using various kinds of goal charts with your kids. Would you be up for being interviewed? Leah
I like how you started your seeds? Can you just plant those right into the ground once the plants grow enough to sustain outside? Or do you have to remove the paper? Where did you get that idea? I’m enthralled!
Hi, Amber! Yes, they can be planted right into the ground. We just used strips of newspaper and a piece of wood dowel (maybe 1.5″ in diameter?). Leaving a bit hanging off the end of the dowel, roll the newspaper around the dowel into a cylinder. Fold in the loose end to make the bottom.
Hope that makes sense! You can buy a little tool to make newspaper pots, but my hubby went for a more frugal method. ;)
That’s a great list! My son loves dipping his chalk in water, but we haven’t blown bubbles in the bath yet. Thank you for the ideas.
