Terrarium Jars – Get Back to Nature with this Science and Arts Activity!
Terrarium is just a fancy word for a clear, usually glass container, filled with soil, rocks and plants for decoration. In this activity, children are encouraged to use their creativity to create their own terrarium using a clear, clean jar filled with items that they find in nature. Please remember to practice social distancing while collecting these natural elements for your jars.
What You Will Need:
-
Clear Jar
-
Soil
-
Rocks
-
Twigs
-
Leaves
-
Plants or flowers
Process:
-
Clean and dry your jar.
-
Begin layering items into your jar.
-
Keep out of direct sunlight.
Tip: You can start by placing rocks at the bottom of the jar, and then adding a layer of soil and finally the leaves/twigs/moss etc. for a more “traditional” look, however, there is no wrong method! Use your imagination and come up with a unique design!
