How to grow a carrot in 30 mins

So if you have every wondered how to grow a carrot in 30 mins......her is how you do it. 

Step #1- Place some mud (chocolate pudding) into a cup.
Step #2- Place a little seed into the mud (Sixlet candy)



Step #3-  Place soil (crushed Oreos) over the mud  

Step #4- Have the little ones leave their cup out and go play while the magic seed begins to grow.


Step #5- While kids are away place the carrot (sugar cookie, 
found at this site) inside the soil.


Last step- wait for the kids to discovered that a carrot has grown. 
I had so much fun doing this with my preschoolers. Try it out next year around Easter time.....your kids will love it :) 

* Sidenote: I made the cookies the night before and they were hiding so the kids didn't see them before finding them in their cups.
