PROJECT | TERRARIUMS
SUPPLIES:
• glass jar(s) – we used a variety – recycled food jars – large fancy jars – mason jars
(wide mouth works best)
• pebbles (we found a bag of small river rock inside at home depot)
• potting soil
• plants – we used some pretty succulents
• small figurines (optional)

• small figurines (optional)
• put a layer of the pebbles in to cover the bottom of your jar
• then fill the jar about half way full with the soil
• dig a small hole and place the plant inside
• add a small figurine to live in there if you’d like
these are so quick and easy… but are so pretty and easy to take care of.
the kids (and adults) are proud that they can actually keep something alive for more then a week. 🙂

how often do you water them? do they need a lid on top ? I would love to do one with my son 🙂
Cathy says
succulents are really cute. plan to buy one and put at office.
thanks for your idea!
Jamie says
anonymous… these plants don't need a lid and you can water them once a week. (i've gone a few weeks without watering some of mine and they've lived) 😉

Hi!
I love this idea! So cute and easy! I live in a small apartment and miss being able to plant out seeds and flowers so this is certainly something I can do!! Great posts and projects!
