Compost In The Sand Tray


Guest

Recommended Posts

HI,

 

Our current topic is GROWING and I want to put 'childfriendly' compost in our sand tray with trowels, pots and beans for the children to role play with. Has anyone used any particular compost with children or do you think I would be ok with any type as long as the children wear gardening gloves? I'm thinking of allergies.

peat free is certainly more environmentally friendly and doesnt dust up as much as ordinary compost which is what i found when using the normal stuff. Dont forget to add lots of artificial flowers too... great for the childrent o pretend to plant and see instant results xD

and MArion cant wait to see what happens with the bird seed :o

Equal parts mud to sand and about a quarter of the ammount of salt :)recipe states

2 cups clean mud

2 cups sand

1/2 cup salt

but its no way enough to have fun just keep doubling up to a messy amount :o
