DIY Cheap + Fun Greenhouse for Kids

The Crazy Outdoor Mama The Crazy Outdoor Mama Learn more

If you’re looking to start teaching your kids about planting (or are just looking for a fun spring activity do together!) this DIY cheap greenhouse is perfect!

To help with the planting activity, I also created the Kids Planting Journal so that they can help keep track of things such as watering and growth (with more options for older kids.)

– Egg carton – Seed packet of choice – Soil – Something clear such as clear tape, a gallon size bag, etc

Full list of materials

Cut out the top of the egg carton and decorate the remaining portion. Do NOT put on your clear section yet because paint and other decor might get on it. Attach clear top.

Put soil in each of the pockets and plant the seeds.

Label what's in each area (we just put 4 of the same seeds to a section and labeled the whole section to keep things easier).
