Care for a Plant - 5 to 10 minutes - Empty jar - An avocado seed
- Caring for a plant is a vivid way to teach responsibility for
things we love. First, you can enjoy the avocado for lunch. -
Then, poke 3 or 4 toothpicks around the middle of the avocado
seed to support it over a jar. - Fill the jar with water that
covers the bottom half of the seed. - Place in a sunny
windowsill and replenish water daily. The seed will sprout in
several days and continue to vine out into a beautiful plant if
it is cared for. - Sprout several seeds and give them as
beautiful, natural gifts. - Make a daily watering chart and let
your child check off each time that he cares for his plant.
