The Nile River

(Our Saturday Project got pushed back to Sunday afternoon due to the previous days' sleep over.) We made a Nile River terrarium! So much fun. Using an aluminum foil pan we filled it will potting soil, dug out the Nile River, lined the river bed with foil (so the water would stay contained), planted grass seed along the banks, and then watched as the Nile "flooded" and watered our seeds. Hopefully in a few weeks we'll have some nice green grass growing in there!
