Resources

Potatoes, Cotton wool, Cress seeds, Water, a spoon, felt tip pens

Instructions

Scoop out a hole in the top of your potatoes making sure it is deep enough to put in your cotton wool. Decorate your hedgehog and remember to give them a name. Once decorated place your cotton wool in the hole on your potato and add a little water to dampen it. Next add some cress seeds to the cotton wool. Take your hedgehogs home to look after them. Remember to place one of them in a dark place or even cover with a small cardboard box. Place the other in a well lit spot, maybe your kitchen window. Watch your cress grow and record your findings. After two weeks bring them back into the hut and show your pack what you have found.
