Magic Garden FunMost gardens are big, but some gardens are tiny, and can even be grown

indoors. You can make yours extra special . . . with a bit of magic!

To make a magic garden, you will need:

• grass seed• a small plastic pot with holes in the bottom• potting soil• an old cup, spoon or scoop• things to decorate your pot such as stickers, paper, fabric, paint, ribbons or sequins• glue or tape and scissors• cocktail sticks• small plastic toys: fairies, dragons . . . whatever you fancy!• a sprinkle of magic

Once your grass has started to grow, add some creatures to your magic garden. You can use your favourite tiny toys, or make your own out of paper and tape them to cocktail sticks.

First, decorate your pot. When dry, scoop in soil until the pot is three-quarters full. Scatter grass seed over the top, spray with water . . . then sprinkle with magic!

Magic gardens are a perfect project for Easter. You can hide mini chocolate eggs in them and give a garden gift to your friends or family!

Draw some decorations to add to

your magic garden!
