And who will help me plant the seed

One of Aubree's new favorite stories for bedtime is the one about the Little Red Hen. You remember the story about the hen that finds the seed and no one will help her plant it, harvest it, take it to the mill, or bake it, but everyone wants to help eat the bread that is the end result of all the hard work. Well one of my favorite things about Christmas time is the little white flowers paper whites. So for FHE this week we learned about seeds and planting them. We talked about the importance of watering them and getting them some sun light. We read the story of the Walnut tree. That story is about President Gordon B. Hinkley and the making of the pulpit in the conference center.

When I went to buy the flowers I just bought kits this way if you just follow the instructions they should grow.
Step 1: soak disk in 4 cups of water, once all water is absorbed loosen dirt. Right this little disk of dirt is going to grow to be enough to fill the pot. whatever. We put the girls in the tub and after about 30 minutes it did, who knew.Step 2: place blubs in dirt nose up cover all but the tip. Am I supposed to peel it like an onion first? what do I do with all these layers. call papa and gran they will know.Step 3: place in non direct sunlight, water to dampen not soak. cross your fingers this works
It was a lot of fun, I will keep you undated on photos of the plants growth.
