This is one of our favorite projects so far, sprouting beans in old 2 liter bottles. Just have a parent cut the 2 liter bottle horizontally across the middle and discard the cap. Flip the top over and thread a paper towel through the neck of the bottle, leaving two or three paper towels crumpled in the top. Pour a few inches of water in the bottom and the towel "wicks" it up to the top. Then, just let the little ones place seeds or beans around the edge so they will be visible. They sprout quickly and are lots of fun to water and watch. The girls run to the Learning Tower every day to check the progress of their plants!
