Grow cress and mustard seeds.

Girls will love watching their seeds sprout.

Take a clean plastic lid and fill it with damp cotton wool.
Sprinkle the seeds over the surface.
Cover the lid with a piece of card and keep the cotton wool moist.
When the seeds have started to sprout, keep them somewhere light and water regularly.
Invite girls to decorate their lid with small stones, pebbles, tiny toys and other items to make it into a miniature garden.

If an activity involves touching animals, soil or plants, make sure girls wash their hands immediately.

You'll need clean plastic jam jar lids, cotton wool, seeds and pebbles and other small items for decoration.
