Materials:

1. A used empty milk carton -- a quart or half gallon carton

2. Scissors

3. Paint

4. Potting soil

5. Pole beans

6. Heavy string

Instructions:

Wash and dry the milk carton thoroughly. With some help from your parents, use the scissors to cut out windows on each side (right side and left side) of the milk carton. Leave about three inches of the bottom of the milk carton. Paint and decorate your milk carton. Put about two inches of potting soil in the bottom of the milk carton. Plant several pole beans in the soil. Attach a heavy string on both sides (right side and left side) of the milk carton. Ensure the string can securely and evenly hold the right side and left side of the milk carton. Hang the planter near a window. Add few drops of water daily. Watch the beans sprout and climb out the windows!
