2. Start off with something simple and quick, like growing ragi. You can use a small pot for this little experiment. Show her. how it is done by planting a few seeds yourself so that she can follow your actions. The germination process happens really quickly and your child will be able to experience every bit of progress.

4. You can also help her plant a few flowering plants in your garden and follow the same procedure with watering them and making sure they get enough sunlight. It may take a while for the flowers to bloom but it will be totally worth it. 5.
