Little Sprouts - January 2015

 The January Little Sprouts Club is one of my favorite of the year - the kids make bulb pots that bloom all spring.  This year was exciting for two reasons - Allison was able to do much of the work independently and she had two friends who were able to join us, Bekah and our neighbor, Dani.

 The girls carefully arranged their bulbs with the large hyacinth in the middle.


 Allison once again made a tag with the plant species names and one with her name, too!

So much fun, I can't wait for the little sprouts to start popping up.  Oh, and a note about Allison & Dani's pots, the instructor had lots of the shiny blue pots in a few colors but not enough for everyone, so she had some of the large pots, too, which weren't as nice in appearance.  But she said they were nice and big and we could leave the bulbs in them and they'd multiply right in the pot and grow back next year.  I was shocked when Allison selected one of the big pots!  I guess she took the whole grow back next year thing seriously!!  She usually goes for the prettiest!
