Grow A Candy Cane
Supplies: Round peppermints,(candy cane seeds;) dirt, mini flower pots, candy cane
* Note to parents, don’t leave your Candy Cane plants outside because ANTS 🐜 loooooooove them!!!
Directions:
1. Fill flower pots with dirt
2. Next you get a unwrapped round peppermint candy, or the candy cane seed, bury it in the dirt,
3. Water 💦 the peppermint seed
4. place it high on a window 🪟 sill “to get sunlight” but also so your kids can’t continuously watch and analyze it- you wanna keep it somewhat secretive so the don’t catch on and will be in aw of the process.
5. Parents when your kids are out of sight, bury a candy cane straight down into the dirt. so nothing is showing.
6.For a few mornings in a row you make a big deal of watering the candy cane seed, take it off the window sill, let them water it and tell them just to be patient.
7. on the 3rd or 4th morning you start to pull a little slither of the candy cane up, make a big deal about it, Ooooh looooook, your seed is Growing!!!!! WOWWWWW!!!!
8. every morning pull the candy out a little more before they water 💦 it!!!
