2. Allow each child to place soil in the bottom of his jar and plant a bean sprout.
3. For the next two weeks help the children water and observe the sprouts, measuring the plants' growth with a Valentine's Day measuring chart.
4. Right before Valentine's Day decorate the vine with cut out paper hearts and allow the children to take them home for someone special.
