Self-watering planters

What’s in it for the children?

This activity teaches children that we need to respect and care for all living things for which we have responsibility.

Taking it forward

•Use this method in outdoor garden beds with bigger bottles. • To release water more slowly, only drill the holes on one side of the bottle and lay it down sideways on top of the soil.

Health & Safety

Using a sharp knife on bottles can easily cause an injury from slipping. Make sure you have someone there to help you and take your time. Always keep the knife out of reach of children.
