Supply & Demand Crafting


As teachers we all know how expensive supplies can be.  So whenever possible I like to reuse/re purpose items that parents have on hand or are easy to get.  Think about different projects you've made in your classroom repurposing products, I'd be happy to have you guest post.

This project, perfect for a mother's day gift, grows chives for the kitchen.  Easy to do and inexpensive.  All you need are a couple seed packets and some dirt and some paint to decorate the jar with.  Decorations can be as elaborate as you like and you don't have to use paint, use anything you have on hand.  Decorations can be holiday specific or just for fun. 

This project teaches students about how things grow and to enjoy planting.  It also encourages repurposing and caring for the environment.
