Ingredients
  

Seedling Supplies
  • 1 Small terracotta pot
  • 1 cup Crafting soil (brown paper or fabric scraps)
  • 6 Red pom-poms (for "tomatoes")
  • 3 Green pipe cleaners (for "stems")
  • 1 sheet Green felt or construction paper (for "leaves")
  • 1 bottle Craft glue

Equipment

  • Small terracotta pot
  • Craft glue
  • Scissors (for felt/paper)

Method
 

Day 1: Planting Your "Seeds"
  1. Fill the terracotta pot with crafting soil. Arrange the brown paper or fabric scraps to resemble soil.
  2. Insert one end of each green pipe cleaner into the crafting soil, standing them upright like plant stems.
Day 2: Sprouting Leaves
  1. Cut out small leaf shapes from the green felt or construction paper.
  2. Glue the crafted leaves onto the green pipe cleaner stems.
Day 3-4: Blooming "Tomatoes"
  1. Attach the red pom-poms to the pipe cleaner stems using craft glue. These are your "tomatoes."
  2. Allow the glue to dry completely and admire your "growing" tomato soup plant.
Day 5: Harvest (Optional)
  1. For a playful "harvest," you can gently "pick" a few pom-pom tomatoes and pretend to make a tiny pot of tomato soup.

Notes
