Have you ever used those expandable peat pods (or pots depending on who you are buying them from)?  They are neat, and the kids really love watching them expand.  At least my kids do as do the kids at a recent gardening demonstration I conducted at my local school.

Before you go buy some of them, give this project a try with your kids (or if you are a kid at heart).  These look super cool to do and really easy.  Just a few basic ingredients is all you need.  Have fun!
