How to Plant a Seed
What You Need: a small pot, soil, a seed, water, sunlight.
Steps:
1. Fill the pot with soil, leaving about one inch at the top.
2. Make a small hole in the soil with your finger.
3. Drop the seed into the hole.
4. Cover the seed with soil.
5. Water the soil gently — don't flood it!
6. Place the pot in a sunny spot near a window.
7. Water it a little every day.
8. Watch and wait. In a few days, a tiny sprout will appear!
