Make a Cress Head

Get grubby in the garden and teach the little ones the importance of hand washing! Even if you have limited outdoor space or even none at all you can still get planting using yoghurt pots and make these fun cress heads!

You will need;

A yogurt pot

A handful of compost

Cress seeds

Some coloured pens or pencils

1. Decorate your yogurt pot anyway you like, we gave our yogurt pots smiley faces to make them happy!

2. Fill the yogurt pot with compost and add some cress seeds, about 3cm inside the compost and make sure they are covered with compost so the seeds are nice and cosy.

3. Water them and then watch them grow- you will start to see shoots appearing after about a week.

4. Don’t forget to wash those hands after your green fingered exploits!
