This week’s craft over at Canadian Family Magazine isn’t really a craft, it’s a fun activity… one that happens to result in your kids (maybe, hopefully, GOD WILLING) eating broccoli. You heard me right. BROCCOLI.
You think I’m kidding? Check it out.

are they ready to eat at the size in your picture? Do you pull them up by the roots or snip off and let them grow more/again? I’ve never grown sprouts, but the kids like eating mint straight off the plant so maybe they’d eat these.

Neat idea and a nice way to spring into spring. But the poor broccoli, gets such a bum rap :( but interestingly broccoli is vegetable queen in our house, kids love love love it, even the 10 month old.

Yes! You can eat the sprouts! That’s why this activity is so amazing. : )

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
