josh's mom and dad gave us giant jars of wheat flour a few years ago...
and when i opened one i was sad to find it was a bit rancid...
so the kids made LOTS of playdough and mud/flour pies until finally they are all cleaned out and ready for another use
we decided to make terrariums...
not at all sure if these will work...
layer of pebbles, some activated charcoal (to absorb smell), dirt and then plants that like moist conditions
we made 7 in all...
tonight i think i'll paint the tops and see if i can sell any at the garden center
i suppose i should make sure they'd grow alright
it was an interesting lesson in the water cycle for the kids though bc it is almost totally self contained...
the water condensed onto the sides of the jar and then falls back into the earth only to evaporate, condense and "rain" again..
