Any time after the last frost is prime growing season. Use a mix of Mammoth sunflower seeds (for height) and Teddy Bear or Dwarf sunflower seeds (to fill in the walls). Following package directions for planting, set the seeds in a horseshoe shape. Choose a sunny spot where the soil is dry and drains well--sunflowers can take the heat but will suffer from overwatering.

	Materials
	• Garden area to grow sunflowers • Sunflower seeds • Garden tools

While waiting for the seeds to sprout (it takes two to three weeks in warm temperatures), your child can spruce up the grounds around her house site--laying a stone walkway to its door or making a "Welcome" sign.
