Gardening

Gardening is quite simple, however, it does require adult supervision. All you have to do is plant the seeds in mud and make sure your seed gets sunlight and water.

Grow all different kind of plants like flowers and vegetables.

Invisible Ink Experiment

Add lemon juice to a bowl. The use a paintbrush or cotton swab to write a message to whoever you want.
