Planting a sapling into Bottle
This is something we did :
Stuff that we need - easily available in our homes - Zero cost
--A plastic bottle.
--A knife to cut plastic bottle.
--A fork to do holes in bottom of plastic bottle so that the little plant can have some air circulation.
--A utensil to put soil in bottle.
--Few stones to put in bottom of plastic bottle as the holes.
--A plant from which you can take your little bud.
Step 1 - Cut the bottle - Make your pot
My way - her way (together) :
The winning way (hers):
Step 2 - Bring the soil and the sapling into picture
Then we took proportionate amount of soil into our bottle and a little sapling out of a plant with its roots.
And we are done!
Then I hanged the plant with a ribbon just to that it looks the way my niece wanted - A hanging plant. Also it looked cool and since bottle is round, I feel it must have been a comfortable setup for the sapling itself.
Here are my two little sapling students, sitting smiling and learning. The little one who is 3 hardly understood anything but she was asking all the while about what are we doing. The elder one was actively participating and making faces of curiosity and happiness.
What a great idea to get all creative with plants like that. They'll probably have loads of plants at home in a couple of weeks :0)
yeah my niece has already planted one more plant in a bottle with my sister's help :)

Nice to teach children how to grow plants, then care for them @vibesforlife excellent idea re-cycling items.
Little ones soak up knowledge more than you realize next time the 3 year old will be teaching you some tricks.
Yeah re-cycling stuff is good, indeed children do not forget things you teach them. The 8 year old once saw me coloring some of my hair golden when she was three. Now she tells me everytime she meets me - i know how you did that by putting my lunch box foil paper on your hair. I laugh so hardly whenever she says it but this episode surprised me.
Pure awesomeness 👍👍😎💕😍🙏

We do the same thing here in Bangladesh. Also we have the similar plant. Love the beautiful magenta flower of this plant. What do you call it in your native language?
yeah the flower on this one is pretty amazing, paperish textured flowers.We call it BICHU BUTTI. Bichu means spider in hindi.
What is it called in Bangladesh.
What a fun project for them. You must love having your nieces over to have fun with and teach them, especially recycling and homemade things which will teach them to be resourceful too!
Yeah its good time of the year, happens twice only -their summer vacations and winter vacations :)
