Mung Beans Project for Kids

My girls are spending too much time watching tv and of course with the ipad. I always try to make their day more fun. There are so much indoor activities. Tinggal nak google je.

Milan has been wanting to do some gardening. And i would love to do gardening with her too. But living in a tiny high rise home makes it almost impossible. Few days back, the daddy bought a plant but i don't know where it whereabouts is. Could be in the other toilet which now served as the sand 'playroom' for the girls. No worries, it is safe and they are closely monitored while playing in there.

So, today...after 15mins of water colour painting in the morning, i asked if they would like to plant something.   Milan said 'yes'! And i think she loves it. Keep on saying 'this is fun', 'awesome' etc.


What you need: cotton pad/ball, water,mung beans, empty container (that's an ice cream container)

Get them lined the cotton pad in the container and pour the water in. Just enough to wet the cotton pad.

Next is to put the beans in. I make them put it one by one. Just to kill time :P

Have their names written on a selotape and get them to stick it on the container.

And one happy girl, who keeps on checking her plant every 10mins :)
Try it with your kids. They'll be so happy to see the sprouts soon. Oh well, at least I am :)
