Buy some Narcissus bulbs (mine cost 99 cents a pot), add some moss, pine cones, and little toy animals, and tell your little one that they won't believe how fast those little green shoots will grow into sweet-smelling flowers.
If you want, you can add dramatics by waving a wand over the shoots before bed time and saying something like "Abracadabra, grow little shoots, grow!"
You'll have a nice little morning ritual for the next few days, measuring the height of your tallest stalk. We used three different colored pencils.
You will all be amazed at how quickly your plant grows.
As you can see, ours towered over the top of our 'chart' after only a few days!
