After the success of planting our radish and pumpkin seeds last week the children wanted to do some more and as halloween is nearly here we decided to make some scary monster cress creations.

First we gathered all the items  we needed before starting to decorate our monsters.

We then carefully counted out five cotton balls each before gently placing them in the tubs and covering them with water.

The children worked on developing their fine manipulative skills by pinching and sprinkling our very small seeds on top

“the seeds are soo tiny”

Some of the children wanted to put their monsters inside and others wanted them in the greenhouse so we will now check to see how they grow in different areas.
