Mini Bucket in a child's hands
The mini bucket is made of green powder coated metal and measures 6 × Ø 5.5 cm. According to the manufacturer it is meant for seed germination activities. The child fills the bucket, which holds only a little soil, presses a seed into it, waters it and checks on it from day to day. Soil and seeds are not included. Metal and wood are given as the materials, green and silver as the colours. Wipe the bucket with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly so that it does not rust. For children aged 0 to 3.
