<\/strong>I thought I’d teach the boys about life by doing C for Carrots.<\/p>\n

\nFirst I simply cut out some letter Cs and some strips of green paper. Got him to colour them in and stick them together.<\/p>\n

Then on Pinterest I saw these seed planters made from toilet roll holders.

\nI decided that we could paint them orange, stick the green strips of paper on them and plant carrot seeds.<\/p>\n

\"toiletrollholdersandscissors\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First I cut a toilet roll holder in two (and kitchen roll holders into 3)<\/p>\n

\"trhwithslits\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I cut 4 slits into the holder.<\/p>\n

\"trhpot\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Folded them over and taped them closed.<\/p>\n

\"trhpots\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"painttrhcarrotpots\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We painted them Orange.<\/p>\n

We talked about the fact that if we didn’t have any orange paint then we could have mixed red and yellow together.<\/p>\n

You remember my son likes to paint himself!<\/p>\n

\"orangehandswashing\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A washing up bowl is always handy to clean mucky hands before they touch anything else!<\/p>\n

\"boysatshops\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A trip to the shops to buy our seeds.<\/p>\n

\"carrotposdrrying\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The dry pots put in an old scone tray.<\/p>\n

\"loosecarrottops\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we stuck on the carrot tops.<\/p>\n

\"carrotpot\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"potsforcarrots\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we added a bit of soil into each one<\/p>\n

\"addingsoil\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"carrotpotwithsoil\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And patted it down.<\/p>\n

\"patdownsoil\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"potsfilledwithcompost\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We then gave each pot a little water.<\/p>\n

\"carrotswithwater\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"carrotstogrow\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We opened the seeds and poured them onto an old (clean) pate lid.<\/p>\n

\"carrotseeds\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We then put a few seeds into each pot.<\/p>\n

\"putseedinpots\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"pushseedsin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and pushed the soil on top of them.<\/p>\n

\"pushsoilontop\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we just have to wait for them to grow.<\/p>\n
