Pineapples aren't just tasty and nutritious snacks, they make great plants too! You'll need an adult to help you with this project.

• a fresh pineapple from the supermarket
• a sharp knife (to be used with adult help!)
• a large spoon
• soil
• a planting pot or container

1. Choose a pineapple with healthy green leaves. Cut off the top of the pineapple, leaving about 3 inches of fruit attached to the leaves. (picture #1)
2. Let the pineapple top dry for a day or two. Then remove the soft fruit, but leave the core attached to the leaves. (picture #2)
3. Fill a container with soil. Plant the pineapple top with the core in the soil and the leaves above the soil. Water the pineapple plant. (picture #3)
4. Set the pineapple in a sunny place. Water it when the soil gets dry.
